Synopsis
Young Ones (2014) is a sci-fi Western from Jake Paltrow that you can watch online on iFILM. In a near future where water is worth more than gold, farmer Ernest Holm fights to keep a scorched patch of land alive for his children.
Ernest (Michael Shannon) hauls supplies to well-drillers across a dead frontier on a walking robotic mule. His daughter Mary is seeing Flem (Nicholas Hoult), a smooth schemer who wants that land for himself and will lie, frame and shoot to get it. The one left to settle the score is teenage son Jerome (Kodi Smit-McPhee). The story unfolds in three chapters, each handing the point of view to someone new.
Paltrow welds cowboy ballad to dust-bowl dystopia, shot across the South African plains with an uneasy Nathan Johnson score. Elle Fanning and Michael Shannon anchor a slow, hard drama about what drought scrapes out of people. Stream Young Ones online on iFILM.
