Away from Here

All the time I was watching this film, the acclaimed 2012 "The Hunt" came to mind. Same theme, same feeling: that the victim is actually the accused. What is different is that there the character was perfectly honest and open about the whole happening, while here he must keep it a secret, be it through his own will or through the force of the very first events the movie presents.

I came across this title because I like Alicia Witt, and was very surprised to discover Nick Stahl whom I had previously seen, I think, only in Terminator 3. He is an incredibly talented actor, very believable in this role; despite his rather reserved character here, one of the most powerful scenes in the movie is when he confronts Ray Wise's character in which he probably recognizes his wrongdoer. Albeit the film is (also) about forgiveness.

Without giving anything away, I would just like to mention that you will find the explanation of the title in the end of the film, which I recommend to any movie lover as a strong piece of courage and soul beauty.
