Wildlike (2015)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's really well cast. There are no risks taken with the casting which leads to the film simply being really well cast, which in turn adds to the believability of the aesthetic & therefore the story.The story is subtle without over-dramatisation, which makes it all the more realistic & allows the viewer to be carried along with ease. The subject matter itself is approached with respect & a gentle hand. I found the end very moving, as the child is offered hope of a childhood.Often films of this nature can be too dramatic, too dark, which leads the viewer to be repulsed & empathy can be lost in that mix. However! This film offers hope above all else. We know there are awful humans in this world & that children fall foul to them via circumstance, but there is good in this world too, there is hope.Well written piece.

Not only does this film (through its actors and director) tackle a difficult subject with sensitivity and a realistic touch, but its portrayal of a trip to Alaska is spot on. Having lived and traveled there for several years I think the film captures the sights, travel and exploring the Great Land in an equally honest and straightforward way.The actors neither overplay their roles nor sleep through their performances. Not a Hollywood blockbuster and not filmed with a blockbuster budget. And maybe that's why this film succeeds on several levels.Well done.

This is a story on the difficult topic of molesting, but it's also inspiring as it depicts the healing power of nature on two wounded souls. Ella Purnell has the showier part as the young girl who is abandoned and victimized, but it's the wonderful Bruce Greenwood, who embodies decency and dignity and provides the emotional center of the movie. You wish you knew this character.The Alaskan images are beyond beautiful, and healing for the viewer as well. First time director Frank Hall Green showed the movie and dozens of festivals, garnering so many awards and accolades that it won theatrical and on-demand release. There is some plot involving texting so see it on the biggest screen you can.A movie that hits you and makes you think. And more Bruce Greenwood movies, please!
