Be careful what you wish for: lottery winner Charles (Tim Key) lives in splendid isolation on a remote British isle. It’s his dream to reunite his favourite band, the folk-rock duo McGwyer Mortimer, so he’s naturally thrilled when they both (separately) accept his invitation to put on a private performance on Wallis Island. But he hasn’t been entirely candid about his plans and neither McGwyer (Tim Basden) nor Mortimer (Carey Mulligan) are exactly thrilled to learn they’ve been set up by a super fan — even if they do need the money…
An odd couple comedy laced with lovely songs, this is one of those little gems that don’t come around very often.
It’s something almost as rare as a revelation: a crowdpleaser I’d recommend to everyone.
Amy Nicholson, LA Times
Warm, endearing and very funny, a quintessential indie smile-maker about nice, humble people adorably stumbling their way toward a little happiness.
Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal
James Griffiths’ tender comedy-drama also has a ton of heart, a generosity of spirit and an ultimately disarming sweetness that make it sneak up on you, cynicism be damned. It’s also quite funny, in an eccentric, decidedly British way.
