Excellent performances by Reese Witherspoon (Cheryl Strayed) and Laura Dern (Cheryl's mom) This movie is a must see for anyone who is interested in long-distace hiking journeys which have the power to transform one's life, and for those interested in stories of ordinary people who survive what life gives them and the extreme choices one makes. A well balanced film co-produced by Reese Witherspoon. I highly recommend this movie, and want to read the book!

I read the book. The sex scenes are an integral part of the story.... It's a true story. Unfortunately, I feel the book is far too complicated to be covered in a movie. The book has time to tie the hardships of the trail to her rehabilitation.
Reese Witherspoon's ownership of the character is the bright spot that carries the movie up to "Average".
Read the book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The nudity/sex was vital to the story and all performances were excellent. It was entirely believeable and, I thought , uplifting. Get over yourselves people. Others don't have to react how you want them to. Go to a movie to see how others feel instead of seeing the re-run of your life.

I read the book, was pretty good but slow at time so I can just imagine the movie! unfortunately, sex sells, it's too bad that they have to include these scenes in the movie!

Overall a good movie,good story line, the sex scenes were disturbing and unnecessary to the story line. I don't get why they were included in the content of the movie.
