The film stars Martin Freeman, Simone Landers, Anthony Hayes, David Gulpilil, Susie Porter, and Caren Pistorius.[3] It follows a couple and their baby travelling in remote Australia amid a deadly disease outbreak.

A decent film, I enjoyed it, emotionally i felt connected to the characters, but the scenario and logic was fairly low. 4/10, worth watching on a slow afternoon.

The atmosphere was good, the cinematography looked nice.

The short film it was based on (link below) was a lot more concise and powerful, in my opinion. I liked some of the world building in the 2017 film like the suicide kits distributed by the government, but to me it ultimately felt like a short story that went on too long after having seen the original.

I see what you mean. That short is very good. Direct and too the point. No frame wasted.
