What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Del's carefully maintained solitary life is disrupted when Grace arrives in an apparently emptied world.
Del systematically cleans, organizes, and maintains his small town as a private version of paradise.
The film emphasizes empty streets, a library, a lake, and Del's deliberate solitude before Grace's intrusion.
The cause of humanity's disappearance and Grace's history and motives remain obscure for much of the story.
