“The Tent” (** out of four) was a frustrating melodrama set after an apocalyptic event called The Crisis in which an elderly man (Tim Kaiser) and a younger woman (Lulu Dahl) cross paths as they are both stranded in the wilderness for survival in which they both take refuge in a tent to ward off the ugliness and uncertainty of the outside world. Dour and aloof storyline is hard to get involved in for much of film’s running time but the final third and film’s ending does have some touching moments about loss and death. Give writer/director Kyle Couch some credit for making a new take on the post-apocalyptic genre but it’s overall effects are mixed and muted.
