The Ballad of Wallis Island Reviews

7/10 Good story, liked the songs and acoustic guitar. A nice winter film to cosy up and watch on the couch. Recommend.

It’s sweet, it’s charming, and it gets emotional.

Such a great watch. Equal parts charmingly funny and moving, this film really hit me in a way I didn’t expect. From the absolutely killer soundtrack to the superb performances, I loved every moment. It was sweet, sad, longing, hopeful, and every other adjective you could read about a good indie movie.

It reminded me a lot of The Holdovers in that it was so comforting and original. Can’t recommend enough.

Cute movie, plodding around this remote island. Had some genuinely funny bits. Nice music.

4/5 - quiet, heartwarming, funny & sad all packaged into a beautifully shot film - overall very enjoyable

oh this was so beautiful 9/10

quite good. well shot and very beautiful. also really really funny, mainly because of Tim key’s line delivery. great soundtrack as well. last 20 mins or so happens too quickly imo but thats not a major problem

A delightful detour from standard Rom-Coms with its own soulful soundtrack of folksy love and comedic charm.

8/10 - Heartbreaking but beautiful, absolutely loved it

Wholesome movie.

It was an okay watch.

An endearing, funny, poignant story with a clever script. Tim Key charms & is immediately amusing. The heartfelt, delicate folky music that furnishes the film is more than pleasant. One or two scenes could have been executed a bit better, but overall a sweet little film.

so cute

This was a lovely movie, a moving story and great performances.

Such a hidden gem from this year, it’s hard not to absolutely love this film. I adore the way this film handles the subject of lost love in such a beautifully gentle manner, and Tim Keys performance just feels so sincere.

This beautiful story broke my heart. It shows how there is only one love, one love than is more powerful than anything else, one love that will forever stay with us, and for good or bad, it will define who we are, even if we are lucky to love again.

I miss you

Geez, watching this and Train Dreams back-to-back days was some crazy emotional damage. If you love Inside Llewyn Davis, you’ll likely enjoy this, as both have Carey Mulligan+Folk music+quiet introspective stories
