Trivia

Goofs
Early in the film Little Shadow (Helena) sees her father hide a rifle beneath a shack next to there cabin. More than 20 years later the venue is clearly deteriorated from long time abandonment. Still Helana manages to dig the rifle up in good operating status. After 20 years in a humid environment it would likely be rusted and not operable.

Quotes
Jacob: Hope I'm not trespassing or anything.

Passable mild thriller with a poor script full of holes, implausabilities, & short-cuts.

In mild thriller "The Marsh King's Daughter" Ben Mendelsohn's arrested after holding Caren Pistorius captive in the US wilds, where she had Brooklyn Prince who she & Mendelsohn raised for 12 yrs. Years later Prince (now Daisy Ridley) has a child of her own (via hubbie Garrett Hedlund) who Mendelsohn comes for (or does he?) on escaping prison. Director Neil Burger styles it like "Where The Crawdads Sing" / "Lou" but it's lower quality, thanks mainly to the co-writing duo of debutant Elle Smith & "The Covenant" co-writer Mark L Smith whose script is implausible, hole-filled & short-cutting. Gil Birmingham lends decent support, but this one is only just passable.
