Wild (REVIEW)


Based on the true story of one woman's work towards emotional well-being, Wild was a beautiful journey. It was both funny and moving with a genuinely interesting plot.

Having suffered traumas in her life, Reese Witherspoon's character, Cheryl, decides to hike the Pacific Crest Trail which runs 2663 miles from California to Canada. The scenic imagery in the movie is outstanding. The natural beauty was enough to make me want to quit my job and go hike the trail myself.

The people that Cheryl meets on her journey and the events that take place entwine masterfully with the flashbacks to her troubled life. The whole thing just works. Witherspoon's performance is believable and heartfelt - definitely deserving of her Oscar nod.

If you want to laugh and cry, go see Wild.
