Edie

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

An inspiration to us older folks, I loved every aspect of this movie!

I don't think I have rooted for a protagonist as much as I did for Edie. Sheila Hancock plays her beautifully, with a fine balance of crankiness and warmth. The chemistry between Guthrie and Hancock was wonderful and shone through in every scene. I think Guthrie's smile alone could disarm the most cold-hearted!

I didn't really know what to expect when starting this film but the quality very much exceeded any expectations I had.

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.

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.
