Wild (2014)


 

A chronicle of one woman's one thousand one hundred mile solo hike undertaken as a way to recover from a recent personal tragedy.

The Age of Adaline (2015)



 

A young woman, born at the turn of the 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After many solitary years, she meets a man who complicates the eternal life she has settled into. 

Tastefully made fantasy romance drama with good performances by Lively and Ford gives its unusual premise a convincing execution, but it's more tearjerker than a serious exploration of life and mortality.
