Hope is a journey

The otherwise ordinary Harold Fry captivates a nation when he leaves behind routine and regret and sets out on a 450-mile walk of hope to reach his dying friend. His journey is a celebration of life that helps us to realise that failure and loss – just as much as success and joy – can shape us for good.

Critics Reviews:

• “It’s a surprisingly frank look at a certain British way of life, polite and unassuming but hiding debilitating levels of repression, a harsh reality that Harold’s momentum can only partially conceal.” – Elena Lazic (Cineuropa)

• “This politely unassuming little film builds into a wrenching examination of grief, guilt and eventual closure.” – Wendy Ide (Observer (UK))

• “It’s a very well-crafted adaptation of a story that on the page struck me as mildly mawkish, but on screen is propelled so expertly by Broadbent and the marvellous Penelope Wilton that the mawkishness rarely surfaces.” – Brian Viner (Daily Mail (UK))
