Wild

Last Friday, I went to see Reese Witherspoon in Wild, written by Nick Hornby and Cheryl Strayed, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee.  This film goes deeper and darker than any movie I've ever seen Witherspoon in and she is really quite amazing in it.  The story is about a young woman who goes on a 1,100 mile solo hike across the Pacific Crest Trail to grieve the loss of her mother and the end of her marriage and to regain a sense of herself again. The emotional center of the movie was right on and I'm so glad I had a chance to see it.  It made me want to buy a backpack and head out for the nearest trail ...too bad I don't know jack about camping.  I may have to do a little research and see about joining a group.  Hmmm we shall see.
