Adapted by Nick Hornby from Cheryl Strayed's own biographical account of her journey, Wild: From Lost to Found On the Pacific Crest Trail, and directed my Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club), Wild is the darker sibling of 2010's The Way. When Cheryl Strayed's (Reese Witherspoon) life has a good go at crashing and burning, largely due to her own poor decisions, she packs a rucksack and takes a 1,000 mile walk along the Pacific Crest Trail to, as she puts it, "find out how to become the girl my mother loved." Alone and woefully ill prepared for the trek, both physically and emotionally, hers is a journey through an unforgiving landscape of discovery, pain and hope. My life, like all lives, mysterious, irrevocable, sacred, so very close, so very present, so very belonging to me. That seeing the fish beneath the surface of the water would be enough, that it was everything. I knew only that I didn't need to eat with my bare hands anymore. Now in 9 years, that man and I would have a son named Carver and a year later, a daughter named after my mother, Bobbi. I'll marry a man in a spot almost visible from where I was standing. Thankyou, I thought over and over again, for everything the trail had taught me and everything I couldn't yet know.Ĭheryl: Now in 4 years, I'd cross this very bridge. After I lost myself in the wilderness of my grief, I found my own way out of the woods.Ĭheryl: And I didn't even know where I was going until I got there, on the last day of my hike. It took me 4 years, 7 months and 3 days to do it, without her. Cheryl: It took me years to be the woman my mother raised.
