23 Walks

I enjoyed 23 Walks, perhaps because I'm now of the age of the lead characters who discover love against the odds. I became an admirer of Dave Johns in I, Daniel Blake, and in this film, in my opinion, he comes up trumps again, playing everyman to perfection. This is a slice of the lives of two ordinary people, dealing with ordinary situations in a natural, human way. I for one am glad that such films are being made.

This story is about real people with real lives. It's very relatable and realistic. I enjoyed it.

Beautifully written and played, dialogue is spot on. A believable tale of every day life.

I really enjoyed this, apart from a few minutes in the beginning. I had a feeling it was going to show one walk after another. However, after showing a couple of walks it settled into more, and quickly became an easy to watch film. A few occasions I felt a little annoyed at the characters and wished they had behaved differently, this though could be said in real life,people do not behave in the way we wish all the time, and with that said, the writing of the story must have been pretty decent to make the characters believable.

I would say, though, that I would hazard a guess that this film would be lost on, let's say, under 50 year olds, due to a few of the situations. All in all though, for me, a well spent hour and a half of so.

I enjoyed this film very much. The characters are a similar age to myself. And the depiction of a relationships and issues in later life are very true to life. It's very well written and the actors are well cast. The pace and direction is just right.
