While this film gives great details of the physical journey at times it felt there was little insight into the internal journey and how Davidson was transformed by this experience. Was the journey cathartic? Unlike Wild we are given little sense of transformation. Still beautifully shot and with good performances from Wasikowska and Driver.

The cinematography is just inspirational and beautiful. Some may find the pace slow but I found it reflecting and moving. I very much like this artful, emotional film.

The book was fantastic. This is a poor enactment of the book written by Robyn.
