Wild (2014)
Directed by Jean-Marc
Vallee this film based on a true story stars Reese Witherspoon, Laura
Dern and Thomas Sadoski. Following her divorce a woman sets off alone
on a 1,100 mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail.
What this film does
really well is capture the experience of hiking in the wild,
travelling alone and particularly showing a female perspective on the
experience. The script manages to seamlessly flit between the trip
and the protagonists back story weaving together a complete picture
of her life to that point. A little too much of the camera work is
focused on the protagonist rather than the landscape for my liking
but that is just personal taste, otherwise this is a really well made
film.
4/5
