Light of my Life (2019)
Ten years after a pandemic wipes out the female population of the world, a father struggles to protect his daughter in a lawless post-apocalyptic world as their bond, and the character of humanity, is tested.
Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA winner Casey Affleck (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Manchester by the Sea) writes, directs and stars opposite Golden Globe and Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale, The Invisible Man) but it’s Affleck’s co-star, child actress Anna Pniowsky (PEN15, The Hot Zone), who steals the show. LA Times calls her “ a staggering revelation.”
Light of My Life has an 81% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus calls it a “thought-provoking chiller.”
