The teaser trail gently through the forests of the Pacific Northwest, as Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton) works on railroads and marries Gladys (Felicity Jones), hoping to build a simple yet meaningful life. Moments of domestic tenderness contrast sharply with devastation: fire, grief, and isolation strip him of family and direction. Narrated by Will Patton, the story unfolds with poetic restraint and sweeping visuals, underscored by Bryce Dessner’s evocative score. As Robert grapples with change and loss, we witness a universal tale of resilience and the beauty of stillness in motion.

Directed by Clint Bentley (Sing Sing), adapted from Denis Johnson’s novella by Bentley and Greg Kwedar, the film premiered at Sundance 2025 and has since earned 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. A limited theatrical release begins November 7, followed by global streaming on Netflix starting November 21, 2025.
