Audience Reviews

Ares 4 This is easily one of Reese Witherspoon's best films and one of my favorite movies. It has an 88% approval rating, but it should be higher than that, because it just has excellent storytelling from start to finish. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Dave C I'd avoided this for sooooo long, irrationally pre-judging that with RW in the lead role of what I perceived to be a survivalist story, it would be a long and tiresome movie. Thankfully - having now watched it, I am proven wrong! This is a tender exploration of relationships, self, choices, grief, and using a significant journey as a life event to work through all of the aforementioned and more. RW and LD are superb leads, bringing tenderness, compassion, independence and spirit to a story that starts from sad and dark places. As the hike progresses, Cheryl's quest to find herself and heal unfolds, and is supported by some potentially scary and unnerving encounters with people she meets along the way. It seems to end suddenly, giving us a summary of what her life became after this life-changing and soul-strengthening adventure Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Lukas K Yeah It's a great movie about a great story. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Carlos H Wild gives us one of Resse Witherspoon's best performances, if not the best of her career. The direction and script are incredible, and the photography is beautiful, being a fundamental part of telling the story of Reese's character overcoming. Who has never wanted to abandon everything and embark on a journey of discovery, or rediscovery, in the midst of nature? During the film, we literally follow the character step by step towards the challenge imposed by herself, while scenes from the past are revealed, so that we can understand the reason for such a sacrifice. Several scenes were impactful, for me, however, the most touching, without a doubt, was the one in which a little boy walking through the forest sings a song, when he comes across the character of Reese. Without a doubt, an intimate, touching and powerful film, which is worth watching and rewatching. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Christine C Beauty. This movie highlights the beauty of the journey of life and how we should learn to appreciate the bad and the good of what happens to us. Life is short and we grow from it All. Reese is fantastic. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Alec B Witherspoon gives her best performance in years here, it's just too bad the film is mostly conventional as it lays out it's thesis statement a little too clearly through unnecessary voice over and flashbacks. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
