kevin o @RT14496334 02/02/2024 ...a slow drama [ a good thing ] ,that works perfectly. Bruce is, as always, excellent. The ending was perfect as well. If you d like something different from the screaming pace of most films try this one. See more tom m @RT96790832 12/28/2021 okay, but what the description doesn't mention is that the girl's reason for being a runaway is that she is fleeing the sexual abuse of her uncle who is 'caring' for her while her mom is in rehab soon after the tragic death of her father. So the context is quite sad & disturbing. See more ronald h @RT44372985 03/28/2021 _Wildlike_ is a slow-moving, introspective film. The story is simple. A 14 year old girl, Mackenzie (Ella Purnell) is sent to Juneau, Alaska to stay with her uncle while her mother recuperates from something (drug rehab, illness.....We're not told). Mackenzie's father is dead. The uncle (Brian Geraghty) sexually abuses her. The scenes of abuse are not graphic, just uncomfortable. Mackenzie runs away at the first opportunity and starts to follow an older man named Bart (Bruce Greenwood) who is setting out to hike the Alaskan wilderness. He is annoyed at the invasion of his privacy, but little by little, he develops a kind of distanced friendship with the kid. He doesn't find out what she is running from until nearly the end of the film, and the conclusion is righteous. This film is all about characters. There are no Alaskan wilderness survival disasters (save for a brief encounter with a grizzly bear). Purnell pouts a lot, which I guess is to be expected, but I'm not sure if that passes for acting. Greenwood is better as her avuncular mentor. Did I mention that the film is slow moving? It's snail-like. If you like fast action, look elsewhere. If you like family melodrama, you may like this one, but it will still tax your patience. See more 03/23/2021 This movie was amazing. It has a very touching story line, an incredible back story, and a fantastic ending. Very moving, very emotional, and very well worth watching. I would highly recommend it.
