Poster for THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND

The Ballad of Wallis Island

Opens April 4

The Ballad of Wallis Island follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musicians, Mortimer-McGwyer (Carey Mulligan and Tom Basden) back together. His fantasy quickly turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island, but old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.

"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
"The film bewitches you with its seemingly spontaneous humor, a cadre of original soulful folk tunes, and its adoration of the breathtaking surroundings."
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
