THE SALT PATH is the profound true story of husband and wife, Raynor and Moth Winn's 630-mile trek along the beautiful but rugged Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline. After being forcibly removed from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination. THE SALT PATH is a journey that is exhilarating, challenging, and liberating in equal measure. A portrayal of home, how it can be lost and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

The beauty of nature (and the talented stars themselves), the reignition of their passion and the power of adversity to cleave them together make for a moving drama that sometimes slows to a trudge. But the love and scenery make it worth it after all.

So for all the committed acting and gorgeous green-and-pleasant-land scenery packed into the movie, its story might be worth taking with at least a grain of, well, you get the gist.

There’s something of the generosity of spirit and gentle humour of David Lynch’s The Straight Story in this celebration of the kindness of strangers, endurance of the spirit and the healing power of the wild.

The Salt Path is a straight and self-conscious march toward half-hearted truisms like "You are my home." If Nature had a voice, she would groan.

Despite its heartfelt intentions, this journey to catharsis is paved with heavy-handed sentimentality.

Beautiful movie. Anderson and Isaacs are terrific together. If you’re looking for explosions, monsters, evil plot twists or super heroes then this isn’t or you. Otherwise, very thought provoking, true story about coping with the lemons that life throws at you.

Excellent film of finding one another and real "home" in the face of devasting loss of material things. Grand scenery and cinematography. Stellar, physically demanding lead roles.

It feels as though two thirds of the film consist entirely of close ups of Gillian Anderson looking sad.

Completely fake. Listen to the BBC Sounds app for the real story.

A hidden gem, a modern masterpiece. There is something special about this film. If you are into character films, into little hidden gems then this film is for you. Highly recommend it

Amor of the reviews are slating the real life people, but I have to be honest and I don't know the rumours. So based on it purely as a "fictional" film. I thought it was a masterpiece. Wrap up warm on the sofa with cushions, blanket and hot chocolate or tea and watch these two suffer with the ever changing weather when camping. Cheer them on and see the beautiful relationship they have with each other. Tbh it is unbelievable and absolute madness in moths condition, but it's a film.
