    Wild

    Reviewed by

    Wild is a very good, but not great film. Here's why:

    Wild has been receiving great reviews from basically all critics. It has been nominated for tons of awards and the trailers looked really interesting. So I guess you could say I was excited to see Wild. Well, though it was a very good movie, it wasn't as great as I wanted it to be.

    THE GOOD:

    + Reese Witherspoon's acting is magnificent! She must be nominated for Best Actress. She gives a layered and very emotional performance that seems very realistic. She alone makes this movie worth watching. Laura Dern is also fantastic.

    + The story is very interesting and kept my attention for the majority of the film. The fact that it actually happened is extremely impressive.

    + The movie is very well edited, and works in flashbacks seamlessly.

    + The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous.

    + The film is well shot and very well directed by Jean-Marc Vallée. I actually find this movie to be his best work, next to Dallas Buyers Club.

    THE BAD:

    - The movie gets painfully slow at some points. Some scenes dragged on too long and others felt entirely useless!

    - There were many parts of the film that were supposed to make you feel big emotions for the character, but many of them did not hit. I was just sitting there blankly staring at the screen.

    - The ending did not feel satisfying at all, considering how abrupt it is.

    Overall, Wild is a very good film with excellent acting from Reese Witherspoon and great cinematography. Unfortunately, the film is very slow and has an unsatisfying ending that will leave viewers wanting more. Rent it.

    RAING: 7.5/10.
