An honest film that really moves you

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2011)

An amazing performance from Emile Hirsch that really does bring tears you your eyes. there is just so much honesty in the film in what is said and what Chris goes through, with you travelling by his side the whole way. its so refreshing to watch a film and be so consumed by it but not in the dramatic spectacular way that often happens in blockbusters. the simplicity: a boy on his way to manhood and the lessons he learns and his ideas on life. i loved this film and think that Sean Penn really brought it to life. a film that inspires you and keeps you thinking on a deeper level is one that can be remembered. i wont forget the magic of this film, with all its societal messages and and personal elements i feel like i was there in the wild.
