"The Journey"

The concise description: "My Dinner With Andre" on wheels. The full description: A captivating film based on true events about the ground-breaking meeting between Rev. Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness. Timothy Spall plays the scowling, bullheaded Paisley and Colm Meany is his spirited counterpart. The chemistry and interactions between the two are subtle at times, and laugh-out-loud funny at others. The action primarily takes place on their ride out to the airport, where Paisley is to board a plane to Ulster for his 50th wedding anniversary. I wasn't sure what to expect with this film, but I must say, it's one of the most rewarding hour and a half I've spent in front of a screen in a long time.
4.5 out of 5 stars
