The author is played by Robert Redford and his friend (a wheezing former alcoholic) is played by Nick Nolte. Meanwhile, Emma Thompson plays Bryson’s wife left at home.
It’s gently funny and wise, with some poignancy and melancholy. It’s probably intended for the older viewer.
Redford is always easy to like, although his character doesn’t really develop. Nolte steals the show, with a performance that grows in depth as the film progresses.
The scenery looks good and it makes you want to go walking, even if their bags never seemed to be heavy enough.
