Watched this movie last night. It may do nothing for some, but I cried little whimpers all the way home. It is a movie of healing, of redemption, of a second chance at life. I think the more difficult times you've gone through in life, the more you will understand the significance of what this movie has to offer. Reese, keep supporting movies that inspire others! Psychological trauma is a complex human condition, and healing requires great understanding.The 'therapy' of greatest influence is revealed in this movie, and is a far 'cry' more effective than 'civilized' corporate pharma dogma (see DSM 5). How many among us are tamed/civilized? How does one become 'tamed' within a sick civilization? Â How does one regain their dignity, and sanity? The implied message is to step outside the 'civilized' society, and allow 'nature' to work its magic.Â

I read this book when I was in the process of coming to terms with and ending a very toxic, emotionally abusive relationship. It was so cathartic to read while I was figuring out what love meant and what it didnât, and what I am worth and what love I am worthy of. It took me a few months, of intense fighting and being pulled back in, of questioning my own thoughts and decisions. I slowly worked my way through the book simultaneously. I left the last chapter for after I left him. Immediately after, Ill never forget sitting on my bedroom floor, screaming and screaming my throat raw and hot tears searing down my face. I could not breathe. I was terrified because I finally had let him go, and along with him all my notions about myself. I had deemed myself unworthy and now needed to find my worth and learn to love myself. My lungs hurt. I finished the book. I saw hope.

I wanna go the beach alone. Sit by the beach, watch the sunset, cry my eyes out. Forgive myself, stop being harsh on myself, tell myself that i'm good enough, tell myself to keep "swimming", one day it will all pay off, for the pain, the doubt, the shame. But first, i need to sit by beach and cry, scream and let the feelings out. Can't even tell anyone how i'm feeling now. Don't wanna make my loved ones worried don't wanna let people who don't care about me use my insecurity against me. Wanna runaway for a while to face my own truth. It's hard to live, it's hard to love me.

Wow, I'm very disappointed in some of these comments reflecting people's belief that this movie is just a rip-off of Into the Wild. They are completely different movies, and each is excellent in its own way. Into the Wild is a movie about a kid who graduated from Emory University as a successful student and athlete, but decided to donate all of his material possessions to charity and live in the wild to find spiritual awakening. The entire premise of the movie, however, is that despite the spiritual awareness he finds in the wilderness, he identifies that happiness can best be cultivated with others, not alone. Wild is the story of Cheryl Strayed, who after the death of her mother and spending years of risky behavior, decides to make the bold decision of walking the PCT trail on the west coast. She does this for a number of reasonsââto heal, to find herself again, to reflect, to live. Flashbacks permeate the film, telling the story of the relationship between Sheryl and the people who have populated her life. It is a movie about redemption, reflection, and adversity. While I understand the outward appearance of significant similarities between the movies, the thematic elements of both are quite different.

If the movie portrays the book accurately, which I'm pretty sure it will, then it's not really about the wilderness or hiking, it's about mourning, destruction, reflection, and in the end an awakening. She chose hiking as the venue to reflect and to challenge herself. The book was excellent, hoping the movie will be.Â

This movie makes me cry every time I watch it. It came out in 2014, the same year I got sober. The love of my life is also my mother. This movie is beautiful. Every scene is emotional. I love the fox following her throughout the movie like itâs her mother still there. I love that the young Reese actor in this movie is the author of the books daughter in real life.

This movie touched something inside me deeply. I cried at the kid singing to her. I hope more books, movies get to see the appreciation in this likeness. It is very beneficial for someone like me who's struggling to find which part of me is aching and which part of my life journey will be used for my healing.

I'm so happy... That's one of my dreams to travel alone ... no responsibilities..to discover the world myself..on my own..
this movie is so important. i watched it two days back and I can't stop thinking about it since.
I travelled in a airplane for the first time when I was 16 and that was all by myself. Flying over 1800 Km without a family member and that too for the first time.
in the airport I met a girl. On talking to her I got to know she was traveling alone. She came from Israel, (probably hiked) through Vietnam and a few other countries and then came to Delhi, India (where I live) and then she was traveling to Mumbai and then back home.
Her name is Mikka (idk if I'm spelling this correct) but it was lovely to know she was traveling all by herself.
After I told her that I was traveling alone too and I was just 16, she was so happy and asked me to take care and have a safe flight.
She was 20 btw.

it makes me so happy to see a movie like this with a female lead. After reading Into The Wild when I was 18, I spent 2 years saving money so that I could leave England and go hitchhiking and living out of a backpack without the need to beg or survive on charity- I wanted to fund the whole thing independently. Over 9 months I hiked across France, Switzerland, Germany and Italy, and then I spent 3 months hitchhiking/hiking across America. As a young female doing this entirely by myself, it was scary, lonely and I was constantly under fire from people saying 'young women shouldn't be doing this kind of thing' and it would get to points where I started to believe them. There's no real role models for girls on the road, and I never once bumped into another girl to gain advice or support from. Films (and books) like this are so important.
