If it was only about rating the acting of this wonderful actress I would have given 10 stars. She alone is worth watching this inspiring movie. It could have a bit more wit and some more pace here and there but beside that, it is a beautiful movie to tell us not to wait for better times and instead doing what we dream of. The fantastic scenery of Scotland is also helping and so is Kevin Guthrie, who plays the very helpful guide authentically.

This film has so much heart, courage and determination that it should be rated at least an 8.5 or higher in my estimation. Be willing to dig a little deeper than any fault you may find with the script or whatever else you might see as "wrong", and you will find that this is a beautiful, heartfelt film that has the power to reconnect you to a deeper part of yourself and to humanity, friendship and the caring that lies within everyone, and that it can indeed touch you in most beautiful and profound ways.

Follow the wonderful tale of Edith Moore (Sheila Hancock) as she embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rekindle childhood memories that have been clouded over by the fear of growing old. Employing Jonny (Kevin Guthrie) as a trainer and guide, we watch the relationship between two entirely different generations bond over their mutual love for the outdoors.

The soundtrack, created by Debbie Wiseman, is totally immersive and wholly original, adding to the beautiful depth of emotion that is explored.

The performances of Hancock and Guthrie aren't ones to miss, presenting you with feelings of disbelief and love for these two totally different characters.

A must watch, for those who want to be inspired, as well as those who want to watch a simplistic but not simple film.

Beautiful Scottish scenery with excellent acting and a story of never giving in to ageing

A beautiful film which makes you think seriously about how you view and treat older people. Loved every minute and Sheila Hancock is truly amazing. Why she's not received the plaudits of the likes of Julie Walters or Judy Dench is a mystery to me.
