Lovely contrived schmaltz. I watched this knowing that the real life protagonists were fraudulent grifters and enjoyed it far more as a result.
Every device that you can think of is wheeled out, Gillian Anderson as dodgy Wyn and Jason Isaac as Moth are magnificent, squeezing the maximum out of every situation. A dominated young woman is rescued from a coercive boyfriend. A waitress provides free food. Young children gambol in the fields like lambs while the itinerant adults smoke dope . Crowds gather to listen to Moth read from a book and throw money at him.
The “just walk it off” message for serious illness is an insult. It amounts to another contrived story about how reconnecting with nature is good for the soul” as Anderson listens to birdsong
The scenery is magnificent . A reassuring fantasy.
