An independent film about a man from the Arctic who is sent by his elders to the New York City to seek a permanent solution they are facing due to the assault on the nature by the southern people. I have heard it was based on the real, but for the lack of source I can't confirm how much true it is. For the voices over the global warming and considering recently concluded 'climate change conference' in Paris, I thought giving it a try would uplift my spirit on this matter.Definitely a good idea for a film, a serious theme, even though it did not turn out to be as I hoped for, had a little fun watching it. A short film, not even exceeded the 80 minute mark. Since it was a low profile flick, there's no big casting or the grand spending for making it, but merely an alright film. It was dull in parts due to the stretch, otherwise could have made it a fantastic short film. And a bit it looks like a cross of documentary and feature film in the narration part."Life is so full of difficulties. But in my homeland, our sense of family bond us together. Like a warm coat against the cold wind."What I think about the movie is, it was not bad, as well as brilliant. Very predictable, especially the end went as I expected, that's sad. But a couple of scenes in the entire film were somewhat out of the ordinary. More like it was for the children that deals on the global warming, but for the adults and their matured minds, it kind of fails to convince due to a shortfall of exploration on the subject.You know it only brought the serious topic on-board, but the intention was not given to explain it, or discuss them. So I feel it missed the great opportunity to open up on the debate and spread the message as what a theme like this supposed to do.After this I've watched a couple of other movies, but this will be the last review I'm writing on this blog for this year (2015). As a movie fanatic, I had another wonderful year and plenty of excellent films as well as so many bad ones. Finally, I wish all the WCA readers a very happy new year 2016. I'm hoping for another successful year ahead and try to keep the WCA alive utmost.6.5/10

And a child, shall lead them. Failing that, a guy from nowhere. But, synthesize that pair, and celebrate their judgment and acumen, and we have this manipulative mess. Pass, as quickly as possible.Deep feelings about nothing much, other than a naive world view, extremely politicized.No fun, no sex, no brain. The Wizard of Oz without the talent, which appears to have gone Somewhere Over The Rainbow.Do not bother. Reminds me of a girl and her dog story from the 1940's. The girl, under ten, and the dog likewise. Usually called Shep. Here portrayed as an Eskimo. Get him an ice cream. Leave the rest of us alone.

So the movie started really slow and cold ;) just talking and talking and some weird language from "the north" until Chloe appears still talking about herself and the man she's met !! then things got a little interesting with the funny looking "freaking Eskimo" so it started to get a bit funny with Chloe steal from the Retirement home :DSo whether we agree or disagree on the importance of global warming issue ,, the movie amazingly shines a light on this making it so purposeful and it gets really emotional while Theo starts telling the story of how the "men of the south" and their capacity of destruction and their need for expansion effects other on the planet... but again it went back to be humors .. so the Genre is not so much Drama as it has comedy, thrill too and some emotional statements in the final scenes ..The performance of Dakota Johnson is applaudable, Mira Sorvino and the others .. Theo Ikummaq was also so good, for him it's like just be there and here you are a rigid strong Eskimo or Enoch !! ;)See the problem here was maybe all the monologues it kinda felt more like a documentary in some parts and the script could have been so much stronger and tighter .. but it felt like switching from talking to yourself to a regular scene again and again .:POverall ,, Maybe the script is not as strong or vigorous as you'd expect but it has some intense purposeful emotional idea and that's what made it enjoyable and catchy especially in the second half.

A Good script, a touching story and a simple way of telling the story. Do not expect the greatest of the movies but, can expect: simple directing, simple starring and a simple movie. It makes one think. Good job from Dakota. Must See In a time when everybody wants the new gadget, the more fashion clothes, the super car, this movie makes us think, just for a while, that we must take care of the planet, so that our grand grand Childs still can live here. Movies should do at least one of the following: entertain, make us think or makes disconnect for a brief moment in time. This movie makes us think, but both Dakota and Theo, makes us disconnect.
