Martina Gedeck, star of the Academy Award®-winning film The Lives of Others, brings a vivid intensity to this mysterious and riveting tale of survival set in a spectacularly beautiful Austrian mountain landscape. In a tour-de-force performance, Gedeck stars as a woman who suddenly finds herself cut off from all human contact when an invisible, unyielding wall inexplicably surrounds the countryside where she is vacationing. Accompanied by her loyal dog Lynx, she becomes immersed in a world untouched by civilization and ruled by the laws of nature. As she grapples with her bizarre circumstances, she begins an inward journey of spiritual growth and transcendence. Based on Marlen Haushofer's eponymous classic novel, The Wall is a gorgeous, mesmerizing adventure film that raises profound questions about humanity, solitude, and our relationship to the natural world.

The dark night of the soul, or the withdrawal of God from the believer, is well done in this movie. The Biblical foundation is “As for that night, let darkness seize upon it.” In my opinion, the book should be read before the movie is watched. This movie is not for the faint of heart, unless you just want to be a spectator. The pruning that happened to the author is actually God’s chosen pathway for those who want to be united with Him.

This movie was really great. Its the kind of movie you watch alone so you have no distractions, or somebody making constant comments. The spiritual link between her and her dog lynx is really deep. The perimeter block was very puzzling, it had a bizarre place in the story placing her in and out of alternate dream states if not, alternate worlds. If I say anymore it would have to be" spoiler alert". Meaning no harm to anyone or maybe apologizing for what I'm about to say but, "If you have a short attention span, do not watch this movie"

For a long time people said it was impossible to make a film out of the super popular book - it turns out now is the time to do it. The director did a fantastic job and pulls you into the story with beautiful wide shots of the Alps and combines it with a great narrator and actress who plays the role of her life
