Wild

Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern(Mother) and Thomas Sadoski(Husband)
Director: Jean-Marc Vallée
Genre: Biography, Adventure, Drama



A woman and her story wrapped up on an adventure trial. If that interests you, this movie is for you :)



You may look forward to:

• Reese Witherspoon giving out quite an impressive performance. She presents to you all the nuances of a solo woman traveler, which a man doesn't have to bother about. Her strength in completing the milestones, be it the happiness in meeting another woman traveler, her suspicion whenever she meets an unknown man, every prospect meticulously covered at the backdrop of her triumph on herself over her past
• Laura Dern is the only other significant actor in the movie. The aspect of family background covered aptly and quite beautifully
• Jeany-Marc Vallée as a director does a wonderful job in covering every emotional nuances with its minutest of details and making the movie worth a watch
• Thomas Sadoski in a brief support, appreciable :)

What you can sleep over:

Well, the movie is pretty much woman oriented. As it is her story, from a woman's perspective and less likely to appeal to men.




The dampeners you should be aware of:

The movie lacked a certain drive and soul. The expectations were sky high from Reese Witherspoon, as she was the one nominated for the Oscars for Best Actress. Well, it is a good watch nonetheless, but fails touching your heart.

My Rating: 3/5
