REVIEW Girl Vs Planet - Phoenix Film Festival Sheryl at girlvsplanet.com

American Literary Magazine - Review - Brandon Latham - DC Film Festival
"A genre-defying film with an unmistakable indie spirit, Frank Hall Green's directorial debut, Wildlike, is a wonderful viewing experience that is both breathtaking to look at and refreshingly optimistic. Much like one of its central characters, the film seeks to quietly meditate on grief and explores whether it is right to accept tragedy and move on or defiantly hold on tight."

In a display of impressive prowess by screenwriter Frank Hall Green, his directorial debut, Wildlike, grapples demons and deliverance against the backdrop of Alaska's immense wilderness with great agility."
