Starring Academy Award Winner Jim Broadbent as Harold and Penelope Wilton as his wife Maureen, and based on the best-selling novel, this beautiful and feel-good film tells the story of a man who leaves his seaside town in South Devon to deliver a message to an old friend. He’s an unremarkable man. Now, well into his 60s, he is content to fade quietly into the background of life. But when Harold learns his friend Queenie is dying, he is moved to act. He leaves home, walking to the post box to send her a letter, until he realises a letter is not enough. In that moment Harold decides to keep walking, all the way to her hospice, some 500 miles away in Berwick-upon-Tweed: as long as he walks, Queenie must live. Surprising himself as much as his wife Maureen, Harold embarks on a walk of hope, determined to travel the length of England to save his friend.
Spectator review **** an incredibly beautiful film to look at…Broadbent is a wonder, so real and sincere it doesn’t feel like acting. Woods and streams and fields and plump blackberries are gorgeously photographed. It makes you long to visit England even though you live here.
