Wild

I liked some of the suspense, I liked the scenery, l liked the story line. I felt the grapic sex and drug scenes were to long and not necessary. However, really enjoyed it.

I liked the movie very much and thought it did a good job of bringing the book to the screen. I would have liked more trail scenes and personalities but it is hard to make all that a book can describe into a movie that is only 2 hours long. The book is better and everyone should read it for a variety of reasons but overall the movie did a pretty good job of capturing the feeling of the book. Reese Witherspoon did a great job in it and it is totally worth watching just to see her in one of her best roles.

I have had a desire to do a long distance hike like the PCT even before I read the book Wild when it came out. I really enjoyed the book when I read it. When the movie came out I never got a chance to see it in theaters but decided to buy it on Amazon prime... it was a good movie and Reese did a great job at portraying Cheryl. I will say that I liked the book more but usually I do like the books better.

Can't help but re-watch this over and over. This movie inspired me to have my own solo adventure. Not as big as this one but it changed my life and I am so grateful. 鉂わ笍

I liked the movie very much. Unfortunately the quality was not good. It kept skipping like an old album or worn out CD in my DVR sometimes even had static sounds. It was distracting and kept up for almost all of the movie. Even though it was only $3.99 it is the principle. I was disappointed that it was poorly recorded on Amazon.

RW takes Wild, what would be an otherwise 'un-moving movie', and makes it very watchable - to say the least. It's awesome! And for showing her boobies yet again, may RW be smiling and living happily! Absolutely love her acting. This is not a comedy, but's it's funny. It's not a suspense filled drama, but it feels like it, especially at certain times in the movie. It's not a heartbreaker either, but you do sympathize. It's a lot of things, surprisingly wrapped all up into a hike - a really, really long hike. If you haven't heard of the PCT yet, after watching this movie, you will be inspired to dedicate 4 months of your life to hike that mug. No joke. Good luck!

I gave this 5 stars because the story wasn't bogged down with pre-history and it was a VERY realistic depiction of hiking and the realities that come with that for a woman. Nothing gruesome or horrible, just "possibilities". The storyline wasn't too complex but it was present enough to give you clues as to how present day came to be as it is in the movie. The director/writer seemed to understand, we want to know what was and what is , but mostly we want to experience the NOW. Well done!Nice and relaxing and as though I myself were doing the hiking.I liked it. It may not be for everyone, but if your laid back and a nature lover and like reality in your shows, its up your alley.

Not what I was expecting. Reese Witherspoon is down-to-earth as a very troubled young lady who decides to try to straighten herself out by hiking the Pacific Rim Trail. Based on a true story, it's done in flashback style, bouncing back and forth between the hike and the woman's messed up life that led her to that point. Just doesn't quite pack the emotional punch that I think it had the potential to achieve because Reese's character is hard to like. The bonus features are as good as the movie, as they provide a lot of background about the Trail and the woman who actually hiked it alone.

Reese Witherspoon did a great job portraying Cheryl in an adaptation of the book. While the book dealt more with day to day issues Cheryl faced, the movie seems to focus on safety issues both to Cheryl's physical well-being and her physic health. The book gave more insight into the support she derived from the other PCT hikers. I thought the scene where Cheryl struggles to get the too-heavily laden backpack onto her body and the effort it took to cover five miles was so realistic. I recommend this movie but suggest if one finds it entertaining to consider reading the book as well.

I loved this book and the movie did it justice. It is so beautifully written. It is about a young, flawed (aren't we all!) woman coming to terms with her mistakes, her family, and the loss of her mother though a long solo backpacking trip. Reese Witherspoon is wonderful in this role, as is Laura Dern (who plays her mother), but I'm big fans of them both, anyway. The author, Cheryl Strayed makes a cameo in this film, which adds so much power to it. I've watched this a few times now and still love it.
