The polar bear at the Juneau airport in the beginning of the film used to be in the airport in the city of Spokane, Washington, where Wildlike recently played and won best narrative and an audience award. A Spokane resident pointed this out in the Q&A. See more »
I chose to watch this movie because of the reviews. The fundamental part of the story is a difficult subject. There are wide ranges of sexual abuses existed in the society. The percentage of crimes have been reported is shamefully low. This movie presented the truth of it.
I think the part how Bart (played by Greenwood) handled the situation after he found out the truth was critical. It was humanly portrayed the deep concern Bart had about Mackenzie's wellbeing. He did not pass judgment on Mackenzie even she tried to seduce him earlier. He somehow understood her behaviors. I would say this movie sieved the humanity through a series of unfortunate events. The director has keen eyes to present the positives from the negatives in life.
Human beings are resilient and uplifting sometimes even in worst scenarios. This movie would show you that at least. The director left the untold ending behind which I would say is better than telling it all. If you want to have reflections after the movie, this one will be a good choice.
