Apr 08, 2015 A bit disappointed that there was not more of the stunning PCT scenery (more in the bonus features) ... the struggles of Cheryl, 26 when she began the trek, to seek her own direction from sometimes self inflicted miserable…

What might have been an opportunity to incorporate beauty accessible from hiking trails into a dramatic setting instead devolves to the none-too-deep inward focus of a fairly unpleasant person—actually the sort who ruins these places for…

Just what we need - a quasi-cheat of a long-distance hike (doing 1100 0f the 2600 mile total) loaded with enough bathos to earn Jean-Marc Vallee (RIP!) and Nick Hornby the title "Kings of Bathos" as well as "Master Schlockmeisters." In…

We thought it was way too slow and could not get into it. To many other good movies and programs to watch so we ejected this one.

This movie was way too slow for me. I didn't even finish it.

One woman's search for the meaning of life takes her on the Pacific Crest Trail, an 1100 mile hike for which she has no experience.

Expected more and found it wanting. Curious about the book.

Wild stars Reese Witherspoon as Cheryl Strayed, a woman that decides to walk a 1,100-mile hike alone on the Pacific Crest Trail on her journey to self discovery and healing after tragedy. Compared to the autobiographical book it portrays…

Interesting, but not quite believable story. Lots of hardships and just a little loving.

My partner and I have been inspired to walk the PCT too after watching this movie (scenes of the movie is actually filmed on the beautiful PCT itself). We're now in full preparation :) She had the balls to face her fears, and even more…

Meh. Book was way better.

I liked the book, although I got tired of the constant drugs and sex in unsafe circumstances, and felt the author positively wallowed in grief about her mother. So my expectations about the movie were low. That can be a good thing; in…

I didn't have a high expectation on this movie because Reese supposed to be this Legally Blonde person who's just comical. She's a good actress because I expected her to play her Rom Com usual self and she didn't do that. Its a story…

I did not care for the book at all and the movie was about what I expected. Nice scenery though, but the story line is jacked up. I would recommend it if you are just looking for something new to watch.

There are lots of "hiking as a metaphor for life" movies, and at least some of them actually finish. Some OK bits, but basically pointless.

Ever since she said to the traffic cop "do you know who I am?" I have no use for Reese Witherspoon, who was born a spoiled little rich girl. Never want to see her movies.

Loved this movie.

I liked it, nice to see some movies without a "big bad", life is enough of a big bad to deal with, I can see why Reese wanted to do this movie.

Amazing movie! Based on the life of Cheryl Strayed and her journey through her grief at the death of her mother and her 1100 mile walk along the Pacific Crest Trail. Cheryl's poor choices and bad decisions are portrayed as she works…

I enjoyed this movie.. I did catch "feelings" from it for sure.. It is not an Oscar contender, but it was good.. I really enjoyed the extra's on the DVD with Cheryl Strayed with whom wrote this story about her experience.. There was some…

This movie sort of went nowhere fast. Not impressed with Reese Witherspoon.
