The World to Come

The World to Come (2021) is a frontier drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Mona Fastvold and starring Katharine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby. It is 1856 in rural New York State. Abigail keeps a diary — her only way to stay whole while grief has made her husband, played by Casey Affleck, almost unreachable. When Tallie and her husband Finney move onto the neighbouring farm, Abigail finds herself pulled toward a friendship that deepens fast into something neither woman has words for.

Kirby's Tallie is luminous and constrained at once. Christopher Abbott plays her husband as a man who owns his wife without meaning to. The film moves at the pace of a hard winter, shaped by Abigail's journal entries — spare, precise, occasionally startling in what they admit. The landscape is less backdrop than force: the isolation of the frontier compresses everything until small gestures carry enormous weight. Watch The World to Come (2021) online on iFILM.
