Harold Fry received word that his old friend Queenie has cancer, and is dying, he chooses to send a letter, butt a conversation with a blue haired girl in a garage makes him travel to her on foot.
Enchanting, this is an incredible movie, I'd go so far as to say my favourite movie of 2023, I'll try and explain why, I have actually read the book, and for my shame, I'd all but forgotten it.
The story, well let's be honest, it's enchanting, it's simple, but has so many layers, it's incredible rich, from its basic outline, through to the various snippets along the journey, the people he meets, his relationship with Maureen, and of course the complex relationship with his son.
The performances are divine, Jim Broadbent, I don't care what anyone says, he's one of the best, he's produced some killer performances over the years, but this one takes some beating, he genuinely had me in tears.
Penelope Wilton also, fabulous, what an actress, she got a huge amount out of the part.
For me, films like these are the best, ninety minutes of magic.
10/10.
