      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      If The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry follows a well-worn path, having Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton as guides makes it difficult to complain.

      TeddySmashings Really hearth warming British film and well worth a watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Les N Splendid movie the way that only the English can do it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Andrew F A very ordinary English and dull life changed forever by a simple letter. There is nothing special about Harold but what he does is so moving that ultimately his life really matters and has meaning. I have also read the book and the film follows it fairly closely despite a couple of hiccups. Worth a detour to see it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Garvis W A little sappy at times but I thought it was pretty good Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review James R This charming, humble little movie slowly transforms into a heart-wrenching odyssey that fills you with nostalgia, hope and leaves you thinking long after the credits roll. Superbly championed by one of the greatest actors of our time. One of my personal favourites. It's a movie to watch over and over again, to make you believe in the goodness of people, and that life finds a way. A beautiful and uplifting piece of filmmaking. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Donald D If only they had just stuck to the original story. The whole point of the original book has been missed. It's such a disappointment. The acting is well done with some good performances, but the premise is entirely flawed and completely diluted. Maybe if you meet this film without knowing or having read the book then you may enjoy it. Otherwise prepare for a misconstrued patronising and ultimately shallow film.

      Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) A feelgood fable as twee as its title. Rated: 2/5 Jun 14, 2023 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Well-regarded books don't always make a smooth transition to the screen. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 9, 2023 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro Newspaper (UK) It's a non-religious pilgrim story about the power of hope and faith. A movie that celebrates everyday joys and human connection. The perfect pick-me-up tonic for tough times. Rated: 4/5 May 5, 2023 Full Review Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) Even a dependable and likeable lead actor cannot lift this slight, feel-good film above its shallow messaging Rated: 2/5 Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) Broadbent never puts a blistered foot wrong in an unassuming road movie that rues a wasted life, but offers a second chance. Rated: 3/5 Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz Broadbent is terrific, but everyone in front of and behind the camera is making smart decisions, every step of the way. Rated: 4/5 Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
