King wrote The Long Walk in the late ’60s as an allegory for the Vietnam War; now, it feels no less bleak for tapping into the financial nihilism of our times.

So unnecessarily bleak! It’s expertly done, well acted, and it made me feel… but why? What’s the point, besides feeding my depression, at least?

No matter how exhausted, desperate, or in agony they appear, you can't help but hope they keep walking. Not just to survive, but so we, the audience, don't have to say goodbye to them either.
