Lynn K This film had so much potential and had expected a feel good end. However, apart from some initial, uplifting views and a great performance from Timothy Spall this emphasised the worst of humanity and was actually quite depressing. We kept waiting for it to lighten up and there to be one or two more helpful people en route. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Mandy P possibly the most depressing film I've ever watched. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Murray C Even the great Timothy Spell can't elevate this mediocre piece of drivel, with it's irritating whimsy, cardboard characters and unrealistic dialogue. Nothing about this film is even slightly believable. It's easy enough to watch, but hard to recommend. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review David J The central theme is a good one. An old man, his wife recently passed away, travels the length of the country on numerous bus journeys using his bus pass to complete an important deed and to revisit his past. Although Timothy Spall is, as you would expect, a class act, what goes on around him feels overly sentimental and at times very clunky. The acting of the various villains of the piece is weak, some of the situations he encounters seem highly unlikely and the script is sometimes quite naive. The final scenes are genuinely heart warming but I’m afraid this didn’t salvage what for me was a disappointment. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Kate u An old man goes on a long journey through the UK- why and to what end we learn be watching his progress. It is one of the few films that do not spell it out but just show laconically life. And I cryed. I loved the film because it takes its time and that is part of the secret why not everybody get's it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Ronny W It's touching, moving and an emotional journey. A must watch. This is an example of a film that snobby critics just don't get. My only criticism is that I didn't recognise any scenery outside of Scotland. They made a big deal about Tom passing through Liverpool, Hereford, Bristol etc though none of those places appeared in the film.
