UK comedy drama in which a lottery winner pays his favourite folk duo to reunite and perform a concert for him on his remote island.
Set along the scenic and cozy Welsh shores, James Griffiths’s Sundance and SXSW film festival crowd pleaser The Ballad of Wallis Island is a cinematic palette cleanser and the perfect escape from chaotic current events in a world gone mad. Tim Key, Tom Basden, and Carey Mulligan star in the music-centered comedy-drama filled with familiar rhythms that are nearly impossible to hate, with a tone that is always quirky and very genuine.
