Review of Wild (2014) by Marioping — 08 Dec 2014
Wild: It's almost impossible not to compare this film to Into the Wild from a few years ago. I loved Into the Wild. I found myself very drawn to the central character in the film. Wild, unfortunately not so much.
I don't know why. Films are subjective. I can only tell you why I think I couldn't get myself into the film: Reese Witherspoon is a great actress. She proved it in Walk the Line, Election, and even Legally Blonde.
Unfortunately, she was too Reese Witherspoon (in my opinion) the hollywood star in Wild. I didn't see the character Cheryl Strayed. I saw Reese Witherspoon throughout the film. Nothing personal as I still think Reese is a great actress, just didn't anything for me in this film.
