WILD LIKE

Set in Alaska, Wildlike has become a film festival darling, racking up awards for stars Ella Purnell and Bruce Greenwood, and writer/director Frank Hall Green. Purnell plays 14-year-old Mackenzie, left in the care of a creepy uncle (Brian Geraghty) while her mother goes into rehab. Breaking away from his unwanted attentions, she attaches herself to grumpy Bartlett (Greenwood), and follows him into the Alaskan interior. Wildlike opens Sept. 25 in Toronto and Lethbridge, and on demand.
