Overview
Harold Fry is an unremarkable man who has made mistakes with all the important things: being a husband, a father and a friend. And now, well into his 60s, he is content to fade quietly into the background of life. Until, one day – Harold learns his old friend Queenie is dying. Harold leaves home, walking to his post office to send her a letter. And out of the blue, Harold decides to keep walking, all the way to her hospice, 450 miles away.
When you start a movie with the likes of Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton, you are almost assured of having a movie that is at least decent. While the duo are as good as they always are, the story is rather mundane. Sure, we are treated to a variety of characters along the way, but other than that, the viewer isn’t offered too much.
