“The word of mouth sleeper hit with a big, big heart”: The Times
★★★“The film bewitches with its seemingly spontaneous humour, original soulful folk tunes, and adoration of the breathtaking surroundings” : Roger Ebert, film critic site
“… an unexpectedly pleasurable, funny-sad watch, full of sweet, soothing music.” : The Hollywood Reporter
Charles, an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island, tries to make his fantasies come true by getting his favorite musicians to perform at his home. This comedy-drama with soulful folk songs stirs up the troubled romantic past of a once-popular Brit folk-rock duo (one half of whom is played by Carey Mulligan). The duo went their separate ways some years ago and now find themselves reunited for this strange but lucrative gig. As old tensions flare, Charles’ dream gig teeters on the edge of disaster in this eccentric British comedy.
