‘a sublime, adorable comedy’, RogerEbert.com
When a washed up folk guitarist and singer is offered mega-bucks by an eccentric fan, Charles, to perform again on a remote island, he is aghast to find his ex-lover and singing partner from their successful past has also been invited. But gradually, through Charles’s awkward, comic charm, the wild and beautiful landscape, and the poignancy of their music, they reconnect while also facing the truth that the past is not the present. Warm, gentle and many-layered, this delightfully off-beat film about life, love and loss is both funny and deeply heart-stirring.
‘warm, perceptive and quietly life-affirming’, Empire
