Wild (2014 Jean-Marc Vallée)

You never know whether a credited writer has actually written all of a screenplay, viz. Polanski's huge, uncredited involvement in Robert Towne's Chinatown screenplay. From this quote of Nick Hornby's from The Telegraph I think he did it himself:

"I decided that we had to create a kind of mystery in the story – what has messed this young woman up so badly? So we spool back from the divorce until we get to the wellspring of everything, Bobbi's death."

It beautifully constructs Reese Witherspoon's life story through artful time jumping. The editors are Vallée himself (under the pseudonym of John Mac McMurphy!) and Martin Pensa, and Yves Bélanger shot it (in Panavision) (so the same personnel as Dallas Buyers Club).

Both Reese and Laura Dern were nominated.

It's really good. Kept making me think of 'The Little Prince'.
