A textbook case of trying to do too much, 23 Walks' overly ambitious script is what ultimately undermines itself and the central stars' shining performances. Go to Full Review

JULIE C 08/08/2023 I do wish there were more films about older people, and love the storylines are just so much more interesting by default. This was a big dose of realism, how complicated life can be when you are older. So it was five stars on that. I just found the movie a bit dull and depressing, and there was zero chemistry between the two main actors. See more Rita J 05/12/2023 A bit slow but it captures the mood of romance after retirement. The misunderstandings, insecurities, the underlying sadness that can accompany old age. He was a nurse a valued member of society, she a Tiller girl, dancer and singer centre of attention, now both invisible and rather lonesome as grey hair and age take their toll. Guess as a older person it 'spoke' to me. See more William F 05/06/2023 Very nice elderly romance in a - for me - recognizable N. London suburban setting. The couple come together over dog walks, and go through a couple of serious fallings out before making up and coming together. Beautiful suburban walks in green fields and flowering parks. Shows convincingly some of the difficulties of falling in love again after a life mainly lived. Incidentally touches on some of the serious social problems of housing, dementia, loneliness. See more Tam R 04/18/2023 I enjoyed the story. Appreciate the slow growth of the friendship between the two leads. The complexity of their current relationships and the challenge of feeling hopeful after loss added depth and interest. See more w r 06/01/2022 A wo wonderful British love story for those of us that are getting older and loving life. See more 02/26/2022 Loved the emotions and discussions this stirred up ! Fantastic acting . Thank you See more Read all reviews
