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.

A parasocial hellscape disguised as a touching movie about love lost and artistry rediscovered

It was as simple as the acoustics shown. I mean it takes love as the central theme, be it lost or unrequited, and the music is soothing. The awkwardness was top notch but this was not a comedy per se. A cosy, comfortable watch ig

May we all be as lucky to have a Charles in our life

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.
