Macon Film Guild: The Ballad of Wallis Island Screening
Overview
Film: The Ballad of Wallis Island (Comedy/Drama, English, PG13, 1hour-40min.)
Directed by James Griffiths
Summary #1: Follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musicians, McGwyer Mortimer (Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan) back together.
Variety Review: Alive with plenty of droll British humor and with a music-filled, picturesque finale that is sincerely earned, The Ballad of Wallis Island is the best kind of crowd-pleaser: disarming, joyful and full of compassion for its oddball characters. This Sundance charmer doesn’t hit a false note.
