Ok British True Story Drama - The Salt Path review by GI
This true life drama based on a bestselling book is a warm, very British story of a couple who are evicted from their farm after hubby Moth (Jason Isaacs) has made a dodgy investment and learnt he has a terminal brain disease. As the bailiffs bang on the door they sort of spontaneously decide their only option is to go walking. So off they set along the south coast path with hardly any money, just what they carry on their backs as possessions and living in a small tent along the way face kindness, intolerance and a life affirming experience. It's a gentle film that is a little slow but is led by Gillian Anderson and Isaacs who have a lovely onscreen chemistry as the couple going through dire straits that ultimately leads to a happy ending. It's a watchable film that leaves a nice feeling but it sometimes seems to lack the courage of it's convictions in highlighting the 'hidden homeless' and the idea that getting back in touch with nature is something we all should do. It never quite nails its colours to the mast so to say.

Huge disappointment - The Salt Path review by SG
A bit speechless at how awful this was. We are big Gillian fans and cannot comprehend why she did this sorry excuse for a movie. No depth. No characters to connect with. No explanation or point to anything. Surprised it took so long for the accuracy of the tale to be questioned. I won't go on as it'd be even more boring than the film.

A Gentle Human Life Story - The Salt Path review by Rob S
Yes, this is a slow burn, but well made and acted human life story. Lovely footage of the Somerset, North Devon and Cornwall coast and wildlife as well as the story of a downbeat couple with the male lead being diagnosed with a degenerative disease and the loss of their home. There's little action but this is a character study and we learn enough of their back story to understand how they got where they are. It's not over sentimental either which is refreshing and overall the story is quite inspiring. The story does move along slowly but it keeps your attention as they wander through their various adventures and encounters along the route. Recommended for a chilled film or Sunday afternoon watch.
