Review of Wild

It's good to see Reese Witherspoon back on the boat again. This reminded me of a mixture of Into the Wild, Tracks, and 127 Hours. I think this is definitely one of her top roles as I think she gave a range of emotions and scenarios. She truly plays against type and owns it perfectly. Also it helps that she is still quite gorgeous with a rocking body to match. This was a tragic adventure about finding oneself after being lost for so long. It had a lot of humor mixed in through all of emotional strings it pulls. It has some of the most depressing scenes/elements that just really make you wince at the chaos she lived through. One of the funniest scenes had to be the hobo scene. It was quite an interesting adventure filled with interesting supporting characters left and right. I do wish the mother had been cast differently as I'm not really a fan of Laura Dern. Also Cheryl Strayed of course has a small role in the film which is pretty cool. I think she must have been consulted a lot because either they found exact duplicates of her clothes or her actual clothes were used for the movie. Also I think Reese Witherspoon was a perfect choice in the way of looks. This was a very inspirational story that proves people can change if they are determined. Jean-Marc Vallee in my opinion is really proving himself in Hollywood and I'm sure will be highly anticipated for future films. I thoroughly enjoyed this and recommend checking it out for sure.
