Review of Wild (2014) by Duncan1964 — 13 Feb 2015
The true story of a woman walking the Pacific Crest Trail in order to find her way back to the woman her mother always thought she could be, sounds like a hippy dippy 60's throwback that would try the patience of the average moviegoer.
In actual fact it's a heart-warming character study of a woman trying to get het life back on track that works because of a standout performance from Witherspoon and a smart script from Nick Hornby. What the film does lack is a certain amount of dramatic weight, with the arduous journey passing with little incident, the characters past never seeming that terrible and her drug rehabilitation coming across as a little too easy.
