When his son dies on his first night at the start of an epic walking pilgrimage from France to Santiago de Compostella a grieving father must undertake a journey that will change his life. I saw the trailer for this when it came to cinema, went to see it within days and was captivated by it's tenderness and raw emotion. My friend who generally doesn't like my human adventure movies came with me. She was quiet during the showing and asked when it was done what I thought. My reply was that I enjoyed it so much I would love to walk a section of the route. So what did I love about this movie? The characters are real, sometimes annoying as people can be. The story could be about the relationship between any parent and child who slip into poor communicating, expectation and dissatisfaction. The journey is certainly that, one of discovery and adventure, personal challenge and growth. I enjoyed the movie so much I tried to go back and see it a few days later but it was gone, not many people went to see it so it was taken off. I was so glad I had seen it on the big screen just to get the scale of the places and a sense of how small and helpless the main character feels at times. I still think it's a beautifully tender collaboration between a real father/son team. The DVD is now is among my treasured possessions.Read full review

Wonderfully crafted story, very moving, beautiful cinematic filming, humourous, great music, works well with the story, watch the interviews with Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez on the DVD, both very passionate characters, lovely people. Did a motorcycle trip in 2016, went along part of "The Way", gave it a lot more meaning, would love to go back and do more of it, not sure about actually walking it but this film makes you want to do that.

This a very thought provoking film. I have watched it previously and decided I wanted to purchase a copy. The main characters blend in together very well. It makes you feel like walking 'The Way' yourself.
