With the economy still struggling, the notion that civilisation could collapse leading to power outages as the first impact people experience is at least a realistic one.
This story focuses on two sisters and how they experience it. I suppose this at least could bring home to people what it might be like if or when the economy collapses, but the topic deserves much more than this.
To summarise what the film lacks: There is no backstory about why the economy is collapsing; the two girls are just victims with no heroics supplied. There is no effort to indicate how they might make their lives work going forward. It's like starting to set the scene for Mad Max and then bailing out before the plot even starts.
