Our take

While a family packs up their home, a little girl vanishes in the forest as a wildfire closes in. The search feels tense and scary, and bloody fights leave people needing hospital care. Illegal drug growing and use, plus ritual drug talk around a neighbour, sit in the background, and grief after a husband's death still weighs on the household. Panic brings strong swearing, including the f-word. ClearAge leans toward M for mid-teens and up with a parent nearby.

Uplifting themes

Under the tense story pressure, modest notes of perseverance and connection still peek through

Story (may spoil tone)

Little Lide disappears in the forest while her family packs up their home. As a fire breaks out, her mother must race to reach her before the flames do.
