Review of Z for Zachariah (2015) by Richard S — 22 Feb 2017
Anyone look for a post apocalyptic thrill ride will likely be disappointed in this latest addition to the post apocalyptic survival genre. However, what you will find is a very decent film focused on human survival and relationships in the most extreme of circumstances.
I have never read the book and I believe it deviates somewhat from the book but that is not necessarily a bad thing and it does mean I really want to read the book now. The film focuses on Margot Robbie's character who has been alone for some time, isolated on a remote farm, awaiting the return of her family.
Chiwetel Ejiofor rocks up and after an error in judgement becomes very ill, leading Robbie to care for the man until he is better. A bond slowly forms between the two until Chris Pine's character appears and secrets from the past are revealed.
A very decent take on a well worn genre.
