Wildlike is an uncommon and deeply sensitive take on this type of story.

Wildlike is not a traditional Hollywood feel-good buddy road movie, but a semi-slow burn experience that takes its subject matter and characters seriously while unrolling the central relationship of the story in a refreshingly deliberate pace.

It was a pleasure making this movie, and an equal pleasure to receive notice of all the people positively affected by the film. Please feel free to contact me with questions and comments at ****. Thank you!

This is a gem of a movie, quiet and moving. Ella Purnell and Bruce Greenwood have a Lost in Translation type of chemistry, a relationship between a teenage girl and an older man. The movie is also quite beautiful with breathtaking shots of the Alaskan Wilderness. This is a little watched film which is unfortunate. It has been available on NetFlix for a while so I hope you check it out.

Greenwood brings his usual A-game, generating great chemistry with Purnell in their ad hoc paternal relationship, but she's the revelation.

The Wildlike landscapes are exhilarating, but when the film works, it’s because of the interiors.

The kind of Wildike I was hoping is close enough to this one I see here. It belongs in the wild, and in any meaning by that is that it belongs in the hands of a person.

Ella Purnell delivers a fantastic performance, possibly one of the finest I have seen from a teen girl, she completely becomes her character. The script is intelligent, **** fails at being engaging in any way really. Too much is left unsaid, unexplored. The film might be partially about trekking, but it really doesn't go far.
