Rating = B
This is from Cheryl Strayed's memoir of her
hiking quite a lot of the Pacific Crest Trail as a way to sort out things about her life.
The acting is good. There are perhaps a few too many flashbacks to tell the story of what motivated
her hike (but probably lots of that was necessary to tell the story in an engaging way). The music
is interesting. Sit close to the screen so you can read the tiny writing representing her making entries
in log books at stations along the trail.
