Review of The Journey

I was lucky enough to see this film at the St. Tropez Film Festival where Lance Nielsen won Best Directing honors -- and I see why. What he has accomplished is so subtle -- so beautiful -- and, for me, so timely and insightful -- that it's nothing short of magic. I came to this beautiful story at a time of transition and loss. The stories of loss juxtaposed against the eternal beauty of the Greek landscape -- giving the characters and us time to explore what grief means -- and how we find the strength to move on -- to embrace life again -- was so powerful and cathartic. It is one of those films I could watch over and over again and get something powerful out of every time I watch it. A masterpiece!
