Reese Witherspoon does a wonderful job as Strayed who's walking the 2,633 miles long PCR as a way to gather her thoughts from the troubled life she hopes to leave behind. It's a thoroughly captivating told story of a heart that opens up into the vast wilderness around it that's both dangerous and elegant. Thankfully we're never quite sure what's around each bend and that's a rarity in such films. Wild stumbles along here and there but Witherspoon and Laura Dern's underplayed performances make the journey well worth your time.
