REVIEW - One Hundred Mornings

Fashioned after The Road, but not as dramatic, or well made.

After a "break down in society" whatever that is, 2 couples try to survive / live it out in a remote-ish cabin in Ireland. I say "whatever that is" because people still show up from time to time in vehicles, so it's not the aftermath of a nuclear winter depicted in The Road.

This appears to be a no TV, no electricity, no schools kind of break down in society, where people mostly keep to themselves (which is what they always do in rural Ireland, surely), and wait for news from the "outside world".

Desperate measures are signaled when one of the guys uses the last squirt from their last ketchup bottle.

But it's mostly about them being bored, and unfortunately that rubs off on the audience.
