jorge g 10/14/2021 A criminally underexposed documentary, it gives the tragic story of Chris McCandless as matter-of-factly as it can be. No glorification, no hagiography. Haunting stuff, must see. See more 04/29/2014 This is really bad. Whether Lamonthe is wittering on about some mythical Generation X (he seems to think nobody travelled the world prior to or since the 90's), whether he's trying to make his film interesting with the weird 'Sean Penn is trying to get me' angle or whether it's just when he's filming all aspects of his mid-life crisis, this documentary is a stone-cold turkey. Annoying thing is that there are one or two really interesting revelations made about McCandless and his tragic story but it's lost underneath the utter guff Lamothe wants to portray instead. See more 01/12/2012 Udemærket dokumentar, men Sean Penns dramatisering med Emilie Hirsch er meget bedre See more 03/01/2010 Interesting documentary about a man following the same path that Chris McCandless took to better understand him,Along the way he runs across Sean Penn making the much better hollywood version called Into the wild....This doesn't really answer any questions...but how can one really know what Chris was thinking after all. See more 01/31/2010 Stirring, and fabulous. See more 01/03/2010 Better than the movie. More personal, informative and most important, more real. http://www.terraincognitafilms.com/wild/call_intro.htm See more Read all reviews
