Runa R The most fascinating thing about watching this film is knowing that everything is true and actually happened to these two people. The film gives a clear sense of how harsh life can be for someone walking in the wilderness. It left me a little unsatisfied, as it doesn’t go very deep and provides little information. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review Emma R This is a total crock. Moaning performances and painfully obvious. Do not waste your time! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Tony M Like me I suspect many people were taken in by the original book, liked it and subsequently went to see the movie - only to then find a few months afterwards an Investigative Journalist completely blew the lid off the story. The whole premise of the book appears to be questionable to say the very least (I'm trying to be careful here!) from the reasons for the pair becoming homeless, the money going missing, the 'terminal' illness (?), the walking of the whole 630 mile coast path (Really? I'm quite fit and was completely whacked after doing just 10% of it!) with it's 'miraculous' therapeutic outcome! Personally, I feel defrauded and, if I could, I would want my money back for the costs of the book and the movie. Any chance 'Raynor' or 'Moth' - or should I actually say Sally or Timothy? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/25 Full Review Julie H The story that this is based on is apparently not entirely true. Doesn’t change the fact, for me at least, that it was well worth watching for the acting, scenery and the ideas it contains about how to love and persevere. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Sally C I saw this before the revelations that a lot of it is untrue. That was disappointing, but the film itself hasn't changed. Two excellent central performances, an engaging story, good screenplay and great scenery. It matters that it purported to be true when it wasn't, but if we'd always thought it was largely fictional I think we'd still have enjoyed it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Audience Member Turns out it was all potentially bogus. So if you innocently watch the film first and feel inspired by it, then you will feel very very disappointed that it isn't exactly a true story after all. They lost the house because Winn embezzled her boss out of £64,000. When they were "homeless" they actually owned a property in France. Medical experts are very skeptical about Moth's neurological condition. "Whether the memoir still “works” may depend on how much you value emotional truth versus strict factual accuracy."
