23 Walks: why it’s worth watching

By Lucia Dore

I saw a movie on the weekend about a couple in their sixties who get to know one another in the course of 23 walks. Unsurprisingly, the name of the movie is “23 Walks”. It stars Alison Steadman, who plays Fern, and Dave Jones, Dave, as the main protagonists along with their dogs, Tilly and Henry.

It’s amazing how picturesque Hampstead Heath is when the change of seasons is captured.

This film showed me how you can create something complex out of a simple story- that as we age we all have a story to tell, and there are layers of complexity.

It’s a film worth watching.
