Maisie Williams and Clare Dunne shine in this sentimental Irish drama.

Two brothers, Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell) and Finn (Roman Griffin Davis) quietly decide to run away from the turmoil and unhappiness of their fractured family life. They escape their home in England to seek refuge with their grandfather (Bill Nighy) on the west coast of Ireland. With their parents (Dunne and Eoin Duffy) heading for divorce, the boys fear they will soon be separated. By embarking on this life-changing journey, these brothers hope to rekindle the warmth of those happier times and perhaps find a way to stay together as siblings. Kait (Maisie Williams), a busker returning home to Ireland, embodies the kindness of strangers as she takes the underage boys under her wing.

Adapted by from Mark Lowery’s novel Charlie and Me, 500 Miles subtly blends a number of themes into Finn and Charlie’s epic trek. It is is a tender story about family, forgiveness and the importance of moving forward. Life is short, and this may well leave you wanting to book a trip to Dingle as soon as possible
