The Ballad of Wallis Island | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

An absolutely beautiful charmer that weaves character familiarities from Planes Trains & Automobiles and A Mighty Wind into something genuinely fresh with a performance by Tim Key I will be remembering all year.

Distancing itself from clichés in the name of honesty and earnestness, the charming British dramedy showcases the whole gamut of human relationships but takes tender care to highlight the good.

James Griffiths’ tender comedy-drama also has a ton of heart, a generosity of spirit and an ultimately disarming sweetness that make it sneak up on you, cynicism be damned. It’s also quite funny, in an eccentric, decidedly British way.

Griffiths balances humor and melancholy with ease, delivering a film that earns its laughs as much as its emotional beats.
