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." Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Sharon P Hard work. It didn’t help that this is portrayed as a profound true story and of course there is all this negative publicity now about theft etc. Regardless I found it difficult to cope with all the grunting panting and puffing which is fairly constant. Gillian Anderson is a really good actress but I thought she was a bit wooden and seeing her as Margaret Thatcher in the crown I felt that she sort of carried that typification into this film a bit. Well a lot actually. I would struggle to recommend it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review David A Gillian Anderson was great. This is not my kind of movie but it kept me wondering and thinking through it all. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Vadim E The movie offers a thorough, if not too verbose, exploration of love and relationship between two persons in dire circumstances. It excels in the smaller moments and interactions, and is indeed about journey, not destination. Definitely worth a watch, but expect a slow burn, not a rollercoaster ride.
