The Ballad of Wallis Island follows Charles, an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musicians, McGwyer Mortimer back together.
It’s strange to be nostalgic for the late ’00s and the entirety of the ’10s folk music boom, but it was quite a phenomenon. All a band had to have was a powerful, melodic group of voices, at least one guitar, a kick drum, and someone playing an instrument like the banjo, lute, or mandolin. It was an acoustic sound that filled, and in some cases still does fill, arenas, stadiums, and amphitheaters. The Ballad of Wallis Island reminds us of what that kind of music can evoke within us. Folk music is intimate, rhythmic, and moving; just like this film.
