Wild; “The best thing you can possibly do with your life...”

Bereaved after the death of her mother and recovering from a bad relationship and a flirtation with heroin, Cheryl Strayed set out to walk the entire length of the Pacific Coast Trail. Years later, she wrote a memoir about her journey: Wild, which turned into an unlikely bestseller. Now the little book that blew up is about to become the film of the season, as Reese Witherspoon steps into Strayed’s hiking boots for Wild‘s cinematic adaptation. If the trailer’s any indication, it looks to be a faithful take on Strayed’s struggle to claw her way up from her own personal rock-bottom. Strayed’s book is the memoir to read this season.

The official movie tie-in edition to the major motion picture, starring Reese Witherspoon and based on this sensational #1 New York Times Bestseller.

At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life.

With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.



Critics Consensus: Powerfully moving and emotionally resonant, Wild finds director Jean-Marc Vallée and star Reese Witherspoon working at the peak of their respective powers. RT
