Joshua m A tale of someone who has had a difficult life. This is a poignant film that is well directed and acted, and has something to say. Good outdoor scenery. It's not perfect. While I am not unsympathetic, it falls short in answering why we should care. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Peter H Watched this twice while at a hospital. My kidney stones had more personality than this. Ok, now to be serious, this movie goes nowhere and has nothing to tell. There is a reason nobody talks about this movie and it doesn't show up in any list whatsoever. Its mostly for women that want the true story feel. Its a compilation of depressing stuff where the journey is the goal. If you like to watch a downer with some lifeless tacked on romance in between, go for it. Have there been movies that have been much much better at this telling a journey and entertaining with a soul at the same time? Yes - see Trainspotting, or American Beauty, or Benjamin Button, even Dallas Buyers Club if you want another depressing shlock. Has this been Reese Witherspoons best performance? No, but it wants you to belive it is. The camera work is as boring and mundane as the entire thing. Watch something else. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Ares 4 This is easily one of Reese Witherspoon's best films and one of my favorite movies. It has an 88% approval rating, but it should be higher than that, because it just has excellent storytelling from start to finish. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Dave C I'd avoided this for sooooo long, irrationally pre-judging that with RW in the lead role of what I perceived to be a survivalist story, it would be a long and tiresome movie. Thankfully - having now watched it, I am proven wrong! This is a tender exploration of relationships, self, choices, grief, and using a significant journey as a life event to work through all of the aforementioned and more. RW and LD are superb leads, bringing tenderness, compassion, independence and spirit to a story that starts from sad and dark places. As the hike progresses, Cheryl's quest to find herself and heal unfolds, and is supported by some potentially scary and unnerving encounters with people she meets along the way. It seems to end suddenly, giving us a summary of what her life became after this life-changing and soul-strengthening adventure Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Lukas K Yeah It's a great movie about a great story. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Carlos H Wild gives us one of Resse Witherspoon's best performances, if not the best of her career. The direction and script are incredible, and the photography is beautiful, being a fundamental part of telling the story of Reese's character overcoming. Who has never wanted to abandon everything and embark on a journey of discovery, or rediscovery, in the midst of nature? During the film, we literally follow the character step by step towards the challenge imposed by herself, while scenes from the past are revealed, so that we can understand the reason for such a sacrifice. Several scenes were impactful, for me, however, the most touching, without a doubt, was the one in which a little boy walking through the forest sings a song, when he comes across the character of Reese. Without a doubt, an intimate, touching and powerful film, which is worth watching and rewatching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
