Written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz from Raynor Winn's memoir. Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs play the unhomed couple who walk around the Cornish coast, whilst his terminal illness seems to recede. This article in The Observer reports that the wife was a scammer, the house was lost because they had stolen money, they actually owned a house in France at the time, and that it is highly questionable that the husband had the 'terminal' illness CBD. So whilst they did do the walking, or at least some of it, the rest of their story is highly questionable.
If you look at it purely as a film, it's only OK.
Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs are the couple. With Hermione Norris.
It was filmed by Hélène Louvart and edited by Gareth Scales and Lucia Zucchetti. Chris Roe was the composer.
But. The couple are in their tent one morning and a dog walker passes and whacks their tent with a stick and says very rudely "You can't camp here" and I wanted to kill him. If it's on someone's land then fair enough you need permission, but surely much of that walk is common land?
I didn't notice that for some odd reason the film starts out in 1.85:1 then switches to widescreen 2.4:1.
