| Movie Haiku: | Youth (Hirsch) punishes parents (Marcia Gay Harden & William Hurt) & searches for transcendence. Excellent adaptation based on the diaries Christopher McCandless left behind as well as the postcards he sent to those encountered along the way. Penn succeeds in creating emotional complexity with fully developed portraits by great actors in supporting roles. |
