Ever wanted to walk out into the wilderness, feel the wind on your face and just breathe ? It’s not easy to find a wilderness these days, but even if you did, the experience wouldn’t be the same... read more »

Rated - 5 starsSuperb 5 Stars!

GStar1977 [Highly rated reviewer] , 15/11/2007

I went to see this film in the cinema and was taken back with how great it was.

This film is based on a true story about a young man's life after he graduates from College and decides to go travelling.

The film jumps back and forth between his childhood and his travels and is told from his sister's point of view, but is not confusing in the way it is done.

The storyline captures you and the directorship from Sean Penn is superb.

I would be very surprised if Sean Penn doesn't not receive an Oscar nomination for this film as it was truely outstanding!

Rated - 5 starsVery important film

Ravi Mulchandani from London, England [Highly rated reviewer] , 19/02/2008

The film takes you down a journey to mankind's enchanting prehistory. We switch between the beauty of the wilderness and the urban and travelling life. A story of struggle with oneself, others and the beauty of that struggle. Very moving.

The teenage search for the meaning of life lacks momentum in its poor development of the main character. He is idealistically boring and whiny. There is beautiful scenery but the not enough to keep you going.

CanaryRay from Exeter , 02/07/2008

Excellently acted film from Sean Penn which is possibly 20 mins too long. Slow burner, with excellent performance by Emilie Hersch and true story
