Wildlike

Fourteen-year-old Mackenzie is sent to live with her uncle in Juneau when her mother can’t care for her anymore. The living situation quickly takes a turn for the worse, and she runs away to rejoin her mother in Seattle. While on her dangerous journey of sleeping in cars and breaking into hotel rooms, she’s drawn to Rene, a lonesome backpacker looking for tranquility in the wilderness.
_Wildlike_ is a well crafted and emotionally movie. The performances in this movie are good, with Ella Purnell delivering a powerful portrayal of Mackenzie's vulnerability and resilience. The cinematography is also great, capturing the natural beauty of the Alaskan wilderness.
