The Journey

I was lucky enough to see this film at the St. Tropez Film Festival where Lance Nielsen won Best Directing honors -- and I see why. What he has accomplished is so subtle -- so beautiful -- and, for me, so timely and insightful -- that it's nothing short of magic. I came to this beautiful story at a time of transition and loss. The stories of loss juxtaposed against the eternal beauty of the Greek landscape -- giving the characters and us time to explore what grief means -- and how we find the strength to move on -- to embrace life again -- was so powerful and cathartic. It is one of those films I could watch over and over again and get something powerful out of every time I watch it. A masterpiece!

I loved The Journey! There is so much wisdom to be taken away! Brilliant landscapes throughout the film. All in all, The Journey finely captures the human condition and demonstrates our capacity to come to terms with loss however difficult. A subtle and clever film.

The Journey touches your heart through a process of gentle osmosis. It follows 3 men who's lives are interconnected through their experience of loss. Shot in Greece it is visually stunning and beautifully acted it transports you to a place where personal fantasy, beliefs and reality collide. What emerges is a sensitive, intelligent story of grief, loss and love. Having lost the most important person in my life it was deeply resonant and cathartic. In a part of the world where we don't talk about grief it was a refreshing and brave story that allows us to honour our own loss. I thoroughly recommend it. Looking forward to seeing more from Lance Neilsen

The Journey is a beautiful depiction of love and loss and how we each interpret our grief and how we cope and survive through that. Touching, heart-warming and other worldly. A lovely visual piece of storytelling told through the stunning vistas of Greece with mysticism intertwined with reality.

I have just watched this film which I thoroughly enjoyed and even shed a tear at the end (which is most unlike me). It is based on a true story which holds a lot of sadness but there are humorous and uplifting moments too. Everything to make a really good film which this certainly is.

It is beautifully acted by a very strong cast and directed by Lance S A Nielsen. I adored the shots of the idyllic Greek Island which added to the magic of the film.

A special film to watch if you are suffering from loss or grief which gives a strong message at the end.

I certainly recommend this film and have given it 9 stars.

Well done to everybody in the making of The Journey!!
