Review of Wild (2014) by Nedryerson1 — 13 Feb 2016

Wild is a clever movie that leaves you thinking about what have you done, where you are right now and what will happen next. The film construction really helped with this reflection, because the protagonist goes on this trip and occasionally something in there triggers a reminiscence of her past, creating an atmosphere of hunting.

Another thing is that as time goes by Cheryl finds out what she is capable of. So it's a journey of redemption and self-discovery. Reese Whiterspoon has a great performance on leading role as an anti-hero that puts a stop on her life and decides to start all over; here lays an enormous courage that not everyone can afford, because it implies admitting that you were wrong from de beginning.

Laura Dern is also captivating in her role. With an interesting direction the film flows with an unique rhythm, very refreshing.
