Into the Wild (2007)

Difficult to decide what to make of this movie about a college graduate's decision to abandon convention and live life on the road as a "supertramp". Whilst having some beautifully shot scenes, and genuinely moving moments, Chris comes across as rather more selfish than he does idealistic.

Janck 3.5 stars



Great cinematography, original score, and plenty of 'road trip' characters wonderfully brought to life. Interwoven with a narration (not just from one character), this movie is recommended. Overlooked at this year's Oscars; although these shouldn't be handed out on Penn's reputation alone.

Mitch 4 stars
