Description
Director: Hettie Macdonald
Starring: Jim Broadbent, Penelope Wilton, Linda Bassett, Earl Cave
Drama | UK | 2023 | 1 hr 48 mins
Adapted from her 2012 novel by Rachel Joyce, seemingly unremarkable pensioner Harold one day learns his old friend Queenie is dying. He embarks on a 450-mile walk from Devon to Queenie’s hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed, much to the despair of his wife Maureen. As long as he keeps walking, Queenie will live, Harold thinks.
The Spectator said, “Broadbent is a wonder, so real and sincere it doesn’t feel like acting, and Wilton equals him”.
But be prepared – what starts out as an amiable and almost-familiar tale of British eccentricity builds into a searching examination of grief, denial, guilt and eventual closure.
