Quirky lottery winner Charles (Tim Key) lives alone on a remote but picturesque island and dreams of seeing his favorite band, McGwyer Mortimer (Tom Basden & Carey Mulligan), perform again. When the bandmates and former lovers separately accept his invitation to perform on the island, old tensions arise between the pair and Charles must figure out a way to save his dream concert in this heartfelt comedy.
"The Ballad of Wallis Island is not a revolutionary piece of art, but it’s sweet and funny and just plain nice, and I have a feeling a lot of people could use that right now."
–Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle
"It’s something almost as rare as a revelation: a crowdpleaser I’d recommend to everyone. "
–Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times
"The Ballad of Wallis Island feels like a John Carney film, with the folksy sweetness of Flora & Son or Once. It is a heartfelt, warm blanket of a comedy that contains just the right amounts of depth and real feelings to keep it from being too silly."
