“Nighy gives an outstanding performance… deeply moving and heartfelt”: Film Ireland 

Adapted from the novel Charlie and Me: 421 Miles From Home by Mark Lowery, this Irish drama is a story about family, forgiveness and the importance of moving forward. Threatened by a family divorce, teenager Finn and his younger brother Charlie run away to the west coast of Ireland to reconnect with their now-estranged grandfather John (Bill Nighy). This is a road movie, and an exploration of youth with a distinctive charm, which captures Di**le in a breathtaking fashion.
