Harold Frys usandsynlige pilgrimsfærd

Britisk roadmovie om pensionisten, der vandrede 800 km for at sone sine svigt, er stilfærdigt udfordrende. Og meget gribende.

...så britisk, at hver eneste scene dufter blidt af te, slumretæppe og haveroser.

Jim Broadbent er fyldestgørende som vandrende Harold, der med gråd og tænders gnidsel soner for sine ægteskabelige fejltagelser.

It is a tremendously moving concept, powered by a deep belief in our human desire to help each other to make progress.

This politely unassuming little film builds into a wrenching examination of grief, guilt and eventual closure.

While this quaint British drama is an easy, enjoyable watch, there is a sense that it could have been better than it is.
