carl h I wasn't keen to go however to keep the wife company I did. I enjoyed it and living in Cornwall on the North Coast for 63 years helped me to relate to the issues they faced with our not so perfect summer weather at times.The film seemed to be over so quickly . Not an exciting film as expected but we really felt for the couple,bringing home what can happen to people who can become destitute in the blink of an eye.Great acting and cinema photography we take for granted these days. A nice ending a great watch.As said the just short of two hours running time seemed shorter perhaps this being a credit to the film makers. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Wendy E A beautiful film, the acting was good but I did find some of the scenes unbelievable, like camping near water when its tidal. Anderson and Issacs have wonderful chemistry.I was touched by their journey. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Paul H I seriously considered leaving half way through & I don't think I would have missed anything. 2 stars for the Cornish scenery. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review nicola c I found it rather slow going and unimpressive although I enjoyed the book. I had been looking forward to seeing it but was disappointed unfortunately Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Duncan R Not the strongest of performances anywhere as there’s precious little dialogue and what there is gets delivered in unconvincing Birmingham mumbled accents. So little context is given for why this pair undertake their walk or how they came to lose everything - we can’t sympathise or understand what’s led to their circumstances. Other characters come and go in a nanosecond with zero contribution to the story. The only saving grace is the scenery. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Film W Walked the path and read the book which I enjoyed, but the film was a big disappointment. For me the story was poorly started and needed a strong back story, more on the court drama to set the scene, to disjointed. The scenery was poor, having seen it first hand, not much of Cornwall and a lot of the scenes were geographically incorrect. From memory no girl followed them from Newquay and the wild rabbits? Why add in extras when not covered big parts of the actual book, this one isn’t fiction. Seemed like a lot of lazy directing and the ending was disjointed. Read all three books and would recommend, but wouldn’t go and watch a film adaptation now. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
