Movie Review: Go/Don’t Go
Alex Knapp writes, directs, and stars in his first feature at the helm, Go/Don’t Go. The film is a quiet meditation and character study of possibly the lone survivor in a postapocalyptic world. Go/Don’t Go plays more like a poetic drama about loneliness and the loss of love than typical postapocalyptic horror movies, thrillers, and science fiction films, so viewers expecting zombie hordes, mutants roaming the desert on souped-up vehicles, or agonizing deaths by virus should seek out other fare for that. Knapp’s film is difficult to describe as even a slow-burn because it doesn’t build to a thrilling or terrifying climax, though its ending is quite satisfying given viewer investment in the main character. Knapp portrays Adam, a socially awkward, painfully shy young man who is introduced by a friend at a social gathering to K (Olivia Luccardi in a moving supporting role), a woman who does her best to coax Adam out of his shell. The two fall
