Waiting, waiting, gone...

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2019)

So I was waiting for the happy part where this kid will finally find himself. I kept waiting and then he died from eating the wrong plant and didn't attempt to get help. Yes I know he is in Alaska and probably miles away from any help, but I thought he'd give it a go and get rescued and live his life as a man who has grown from his experiences.
Other than music and cinematography, I thought this movie was nothing special.
They made a hero out of someone who actually was selfish and delusional. I can probably find a lot of people who ran away from home, turned homeless and ended up dying in a similar way (not Alaska but probably from freezing on the streets or drowning in some river or something). If you glorify their story, like they did with young Chris here, you will probably get a very similar feel.
Anyway, each to their own. Wasn't for me.
