But Charles has also invited Nell to play -forcing Herb into an unexpected reunion.

“★★★★ It’s a love story and a bromance elevated by the actors' superb comic timing and a sense of wonder.” - Anthony Cecil, The Arts Desk

“The Ballad of Wallis Island is the best kind of crowd-pleaser: disarming, joyful and full of compassion for its oddball characters.” - Tomris Laffly, Variety

“★★★★ Warm, perceptive and quietly life-affirming... a big-hearted, consoling hug of a movie.” - Ian Freer, Empire Magazine
