Zachary Jacob S @RT29975639 Jan 28 This movie rocks! Visually gorgeous and emotionally rich. A love letter to adventure, the unknown, the wilderness, and the meaning of love itself!

See more Oly A @RT95185015 May 19 I particularly enjoy movies from real events and this one was not disappointing. It touches on the deep impact of a spouse inevitably death due to cancer. Life does and will go on & I enjoyed watching his learning, documentary of species rarely seen, & the reality that everything planned doesn't work. Good feel movie.

In a movie about scientific discovery, that was disappointing. Also, the main character's mishaps were pretty silly. But the movie was enjoyable otherwise. See more Good K @RT59408877 02/23/2024 This movie starts off slow and then really slows down. And at first I thought I might not last to the end. Early in the film director Tom Putnam dives deep into the pain and suffering that cancer brings to Robert Pyle's beloved wife Thea. It is honest and real but takes a big unnecessary step in that direction for a bit to long. I think the writer and director would have served this film far better by focusing on the relationship between Robert and Thea in life rather than death. If you have made it to adulthood, you know how cancer ravages the body and the devastating affects of chemo. Take us on the true love story of this couple and the journey into the woods. By the time we get there, there is a depressed mood in the director's vision and he takes a long time before finally bringing us back to the reason we are watching. Yes I know this is Robert Pyle's life … but the rawness of those scenes to me to far out of the reason I choose to watch this film. However, when the film does finally come back around, text twists and turns that are often unexpected. Just when you think Putnam is going to fall back on old cliche characters (the environmentalist vs the "world" and the evil people opposing them) he brings a sweetness to the characters that catches his audience by surprise. Is this Pyle's perspective or Putnam? Regardless it was so refreshing to not head down that "preachy" path that is so much apart of film making these days. And it's always the same good characters versus the same bad characters that are to predictable and unlike anyone you meet in the real world. Bravo. In the end I found this film's gentle meandering through the Midwest forests a pleasant ride. Most of the music is terrific, all of the actors are solid and the cinematography is wonderful. I loved looking at this film and it had me yearning to read Pyle‘s book(s) … The final scene wraps this piece up beautifully and gives us all a humorous look at our all to short lives here. We are only visitors all trying to find our way back "home" See more Angelica G @RT29910968 11/18/2023 This was a really good movie.
