Wild

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The movie was not quite what I thought it was going to be. However, the story line is very good and the acting portrayed many human emotions to express why the main character was doing the Pacific Crest Trail. It is quite obvious that she was not an experienced hiker, but looking for a way to a better life. From my experience, being out in nature can certainly change ones outlook and I can see how doing a 1000 mile backpacking trip could transform a life. The flashbacks of her previous life are quite graphic, so this is definitely not a kid friendly movie.

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.

Take a walk with Reese and shake of that monkey from your back. Witherspoon goes on a extended 500 plus mile journey and encounters a fair share of hobos and others in order to make her life right again. the scariest person on the trail is her! Really well done this period piece takes place around 1995. A joy to see. I could be wrong but I think this qualifies as a really good Family picture.
