The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

[WeeGord]

Just got around to seeing it at last and what a fantastic, moving film.

Always been a big fan of Jim Broadbent and think he's rightly considered one of the best actors around, but this is amongst his best yet IMHO.

Penelope Wilton his equal too, both deserving huge plaudits. An emotional roller coaster of a film, I'd recommend it to anyone. Superb.

The wife and I sat and watched it earlier today and we both really enjoyed it. Broadbent and Wilton both play good parts and show how our interactions with others can impact others.

I'm presently sat watching one of my favourite films - The Godfather. The better half has gone to bed and I will be up until daft o'clock.

I'm recording it, no chance I could last half the night watching it! Enjoy though, great film.

Read the book by Rachel Joyce and if I remember rightly I thought it was a bit boring but may give the film a go as I like Jim Broadbent.

If you enjoyed this you might like to have a look at The Last Bus with the brilliant Timothy Spall and Phylis Logan. Another emotional tale and a pilgrimage of sorts.
It’s on iplayer.

I really enjoyed the book! Didn’t even know it was made into a movie until seen this thread. Will give it a watch.

Harold Fry film - well worth watching especially for older viewer.

I thought thought Jim Broadbent was alos good in the film about the famous painting theft by the guy from Newcastle.

Godfather - Just quality and has aged well for me.

Fabulous melancholic gut wrenching on occasion.
Broadbent and wilton nail this to the floorboards
Such a good film
If you like the detectorists you will love this

Another one worth looking up is, 'The Missing Postman' 1997 with James Bolam.

I've just sat and watched The Great Escaper with Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. Both play a brilliant part about two OAPs living in a care home and Caine making his way to France for the 70th D-Day Landing celebrations.

I must admit at times I had a tear in my eye.

Watched this tonight as our New Years Eve 'entertainment'. Very good and thought provoking.

And a Happy New Year to you and yours!

For a while you'll have to do with 0.0s because I'm doing Dry January

For anyone who enjoyed the film, I'd heartily recommend the trilogy of books by Rachel Joyce.

I met Rachel Joyce when she was promoting this book at the Durham book festival. What a lovely women and very talented.

I thought the book was fantastic too. Even better is her novel ‘The Music Shop.’
