The Journey

The Journey is a lovely story about love, loss, and the importance of community. There is an amazing attention to detail throughout the story and a message about humanity that is sure to touch anyone who watches. There are a few plot points that are a bit too subtle, but if one pays close attention they will be able to fully grasp the full story.

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 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.

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!
