This movie is a beautifully written, directed, and acted portrayal of the means to which we must sometimes go to rid ourselves of internal demons that hold us back from moving forward with our lives.
Reese Witherspoon is brilliant as Cheryl and Laura Dern shines as her ailing Mother. He dealings with others from her past as well as new people she befriends on her journey all add to the real feel of this film. It feels natural, not Hollywood. It has no need to rely on fake action or heroics. Just the portrayal of a real person, with a real life and struggles. I could have sat there for much longer, watching her come to terms with the past and opening herself to her future. Great music, great supporting characters, lush scenery.
