Wild

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

It's "The Way" meets "Into the Wild" when a naive woman (Reese Witherspoon) sets off on her journey along the Pacific Crest Trail. It is an agonizing trek over a thousand miles and 3 months with a glimmer of Cheryl Strayed's back story told in flashbacks. Witherspoon's performance is amazing and boldly exposes herself more than sans makeup. Alien enjoyed the arduous trip, but fails to understand this woman because the film emphasizes the journey and not the person. The pieces of her past are too brief and fractured too satisfied Alien's liking. The film is cliché but effective; everything you wanted to know about camping & hiking but were afraid to ask.  It's rated "R" for 'drugs, sex, and rock & roll' along with language and nudity. See photos of the real Cheryl Strayed during the credits.

Alien gives it 3 "Queen of the PCT' stars out of 4.
