Mind gone wild

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2008)

This starts out like a fairly ordinary young man breaking free from the norm, finding his inner self. But a lot more is added. Alex/Chris has issues with his parents, well dad mainly, and goes off on an adventure, where the goal is living off the wild in Alaska.
On the journey he meets people that really care for him, but he must keep moving. His choices seem to make sense at first, but gradually you wonder about his self preservation.
At the end I pondered what his own take on the story would be, and if he actually managed to grow up, he was still so young. Some say the brain is not fully developed until age 25.
As a film I totally recommend: direction, acting and pretty much everything is first class.
