Following the tragic death of her mother, Ida falls into the care of her estranged aunt Bodil and Bodil?s three grown sons. Ida initially finds comfort in their home, which is filled with physical tenderness and a strong sense of unity. But the darker reality of her family's criminal way of life and toxic dynamics slowly pushes her to accept violence, addiction and intimidation as normal. As the situation spirals out of control, Ida realizes that love and violence are impossible to separate. Doubting if she really belongs with this loyal, but dangerous matriarch and a brotherhood on the edge, Ida faces the same question her mother once faced before her: Just how far are you willing to go for your family? (Universal Sony Pictures HE Fin.)

Ida could tell you a thing or two about how you don't choose your family. Wildland is the story of a family that may seem idyllic at first glance, but as it happens, a second look will sober both you and Ida. The biggest weakness of the film is the script, which is sometimes too stilted and doesn't really reveal much about the characters, so you have to guess a lot, which is not always a bad thing, but here it was underdeveloped in certain moments, especially in the case of Ida's initiation into the "family trade". Nevertheless, I still had a very uncomfortable feeling on several occasions when I realised how toxic and destructive this family is. Overall, the film hovers between three and four stars for me, but I'll give it a raise for the ending.
