The Loneliest Planet (2012)

What critics compared The Loneliest Planet to
It often reminded me of Julia Loktev's little-seen but seldom-forgotten “The Loneliest Planet” in that sense.
What could have been a scary version of The Loneliest Planet with no women sputters out thematically before it’s really begun.
In its way, it's the ideal counterpart to Julia Loktev's The Loneliest Planet , which likewise examines the toll that upholding a masculine ideal takes on men (as well as the directions this tension takes in our relationships with the opposite sex), albeit from a woman's perspective (Loktev's) as opposed to through the lens of the most testosterone-rich franchise in the history of film.
