Review of Wild (2014) by Dierregi — 22 Mar 2015
There are very few stories with strong female leads not involving children and/or romantic partners. Therefore I was looking forward to “Wild”, since I read it was about the journey of discovery of a single woman.
Turns out, the “single” woman was a promiscuous divorcee and her discovery boiled down to “whatever I did wrong, I would do it again”. Even if much criticized, I did not find Witherspoon’s performance bad.
Her character was not supposed to be sunny and easy-going; therefore her bad attitude, fear and depression were appropriate. However, I agree that her character is mostly unlikable and the only word she seems to know and use is “F.
.k”… so much for her alleged level of “sophistication”.
