How I Live Now is a 2013 British drama/thriller film. How I Live Now is a modern apocalyptic film about a teen named Elizabeth "Daisy" whom is sent to live with her cousins in England. While first Visiting "Daisy" is spiteful and cold it is then reveled she is anorexic and neurotic. This is then seen to first complicate any form of bonding that she could have with her cousins but eventually warms up to them and forms a romantic relationship with the eldest cousin Eddie. Throughout the story it shows the effects of the apocalypse in ways such as PTSD , overall shock , and grief. I would give this movie a 5 out of 5 in the apocalypse film genre and a 4.5 out of 5 overall as a Hollywood film. This reasoning was the way each indivual character reacted to the trauma they faced in real ways that real people would have reacted. The characters although were not happy go lucky I believed they were defiantly 3 dimensional instead of the usual Hollywood complacent 2D persona. The dialog was diverse although at times there was unnecessary cussing. Saoirse Ronan had a stunning performance in this production also adding to the 3D character aspect. I would most defiantly consider this one of my favorite films of recent. Tell me in the comments below what you thought of How I Live Now!
