Timothy Spall stars - brilliantly obvs - as a recently widowed elderly man using his OAP bus pass to travel from his home in John o Groats to his former home in Lands End. It was an understated beautiful film and I cried about 8 times, the last of which were floods of tears. Nice tears mind. Surprise of the year so far.

Synopsis
A heart-warming tale of Tom (Timothy Spall), a pensioner whose wife, Mary (Phyllis Logan), has just passed away, who travels from Britain's most Northerly point, John O'Groats, to his original home town at its most Southerly point, Land's End, using his free bus pass. He carries with him his wife's ashes in a small suitcase, travelling the length of the country to take her back home. Along the way, his adventures are recorded by the people he meets and helps, and by the end of his trip he has unwittingly become a social media celebrity.

A surprisingly beautiful gem
Good story well told
A film not so much made as crafted. Timothy Spall puts in a phenomenal performance as the 91 year old determined to keep a promise.
Such a shame that the chain cinemas will be unlikely to carry this and allow more people to see an extraordinary film.
A truly remarkable piece of film making.
Best film yet 2021
