Comeback
When the film Wild came out in 2014, it met critical acclaim. Michael Phillips of Chicago Tribune wrote, “Witherspoon does the least acting of her career, and it works. Calmly yet restlessly, she brings to life Strayed’s longings, her states of grief and desire and her wary optimism.” Wild has been considered Witherspoon’s “comeback” following her career slump. She went on to earn her second Academy Award nomination for the role.
