Walking Spain

The Way (2010)

Written & directed by Emilio Estevez this film stars Martin Sheen, Deborah Kara Unger, Yorick van Wageningen and James Nesbitt. An American ophthalmologist travels to Europe to collect his son's body and decides to walk the pilgrimage his son died on.

Considering the film is based on a religious concept the story does a really good job of not pushing religion and instead offering a more neutral story. While this is a fairly simple story it still does a decent job of capturing the nature and camaraderie of popular long walking trails. There are decent if unremarkable performances from the cast and the direction does a good job of keeping out of the way.


3/5
