Journey to You

This is a Hallmark movie about American pilgrims on the "Way of St James", a route that starts in northern Spain and ends at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. It's an ancient pilgrimage, but still a religious exercise.

The script is really bad because it's soaked in nostalgia for past relatives and past times. There is too much living in the past, which makes it both depressing and boring. The dialog is repetitious and it's slow, which also makes it boring. It could have been a much lighter movie about a man and woman who both live in the Boston area, but met thousands of miles from home. And how they both enjoyed the culture of Spain and the province of Galicia. They got to Santiago de Compostela and stood looking at the cathedral, the cathedral is the end of the pilgrimage, but they never went inside.

A really bad script, another dud from Hallmark.

Just loved this story. Great message and it flows great. Truly loved it, if you don't know the true story of Camino De Santiago please do yourself a favor and read up on it....then watch this great show. Great story of a grand dad, son and grand son who all take the walk but the real story was of a young woman from Boston who goes on the walk to soul search and follow the walk and path her parents did so long before. She hopes to reconnect her faith after some struggles back at work. Her mom convinced her to travel to Spain to start her journey on the way and her journey to go deep and find herself. Great story. Thank you Hallmark.

I love this. I love that it had a spiritual storyline. Because the truth is, all of our lives have a spiritual story whether we realize it or not. And I love how this movie brought it to the forefront. There was Grace, family conflict, imperfect people, etc. I loved how the main female is doing a devotional. I love that she prays.

Also, I love that they didn't do heavy makeup on the females. Given that they're doing this outdoor walk, they wouldn't have heavy makeup on and so it was nice that they actually looked realistic in that way.

Also, I really loved the Camino guide character. She was a gem.

OMG and not in a good way. Started out slow but when it turned into a spiritual journey walking beside God when had to quit watching the movie. Too bad most of the visible reviews are glowing with an average of almost seven we thought we hit the Hallmark jackpot. But like every lottery ticket you pay more than you win. Now for the required characters gibberish about the movie you get to see the movie and the movie you can see the movie you want in your head but not your face or your eyes are on your nose or your face and there we go with the movie review requirements that are just a waste of time!

Yes, there is a different feel to this movie if you're used to watching hallmark. It's more thoughtful, and thankfully, as mentioned by another reviewer, does not use the typical tropes.

It's more thoughtful - sweet, kind, and yet realistic in its portrayal of the main characters. I for one appreciate the faith aspect which I do not think was overdone. The experience of the Trail is a religious one and it's refreshing that the characters were allowed to actually pray. Beautiful.

There were times when the dialogue was a little mundane and some of the acting wasn't quite as sharp as we might want, but overall it was a refreshing and enjoyable experience. I'd definitely watch it again. The best performance by far was by Solal Bellaiche, the son. The pace was in line with the theme and purpose( walking the Camino trail) of the movie. I've said before that we need to be in the right headspace to watch a lot of movies and this is one of them. Slow down and enjoy the beauty of this one.
