Synopsis
A couple lose their home and later discover the husband has been diagnosed with a terminal illness as they embark on a year long coastal trek.
Moviegoers are saying
This British drama about a 280-mile walking journey has audiences split between appreciation for its authentic portrayal of marriage and nature, versus frustration with its slow, existentially heavy pace. Reviewers consistently note the film's ability to make viewers feel like they've endured the entire trek alongside the characters, though opinions vary on whether that's a feature or a bug.

- Amz Town is "meh" onThe Salt Path
I thought this was a decent film. It’s a true story so you can’t comment on the storyline. However I’ve seen articles claiming it isn’t completely accurate. Filmed well, acted well just not good enough to watch again.
Jacob Jaudat-brown likedThe Salt PathAn amazing Story about loss of a livelihood, frustration, pain & love. Scenery was beautiful and amazing. “Gwizz you the cake police?”
Laura Ghitoi is "meh" onThe Salt Pathjust as meh as the book. the only awesome thing was the change in aspect ratio when they finally go out on the path

saw this with Salvi. Gorgeous film, my only critique is they are too good looking to try to look ugly/homeless
David is "meh" onThe Salt PathIt’s an ok film - ironically only watched because of the drama about authenticity

It makes genuinely important points about homelessness, and the middle-class horror of ever crossing that line. But the script, by Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Ida, She Said) is a surprising letdown.

There’s little effort to make us understand the failed systems that led them to this point, or the new normalcy they’re forced to adjust to – indeed, any of the more subtle, complex facets of this story.

Engaging turns from Anderson and Isaacs can’t elevate a narrative that ultimately goes nowhere, although it might make you want to get the tent out of the attic at long last.
