Hills Green

About This Movie

Hills Green, released in 2013, captures this hazy, introspective vibe, you know? It’s set against the backdrop of Toronto’s late summer, and follows the journey of Shawn and Erin, who are longtime friends seeking escape in nature. Initially, it’s all about the freedom of the outdoors—the lush landscapes, the crackling campfire—but it shifts as the weight of their personal lives creeps in. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing for those quiet moments of reflection, which really makes the emotional stakes land. The performances are raw, and you can sense the tension bubbling under the surface, as unresolved issues surface. It’s the kind of film that lingers, showcasing how friendships can fray under pressure, but also how they can deepen through vulnerability.
