The Way, My Way (2024). 1h 38m

“Iu0026#39;ve watched all the Camino movies and documentaries because they are all herou0026#39;s journeys and Iu0026#39;m a sucker for that. I wanted to like this film, particularly since it is Australian. The photography and soundtrack were beautiful. Unfortunately, the lead was extremely unlikeable until halfway through. Nothing happened to show the audience he was worth caring about, and he lacked depth both in his behaviour and internal dialogue. He had an epiphany towards the end of the movie that was unfortunately unbelievable, because the insights he gained were not hinted at before. I canu0026#39;t help but compare his character to Martin Sheenu0026#39;s in The Way, a similar man; headstrong, but Sheen had warmth and charisma up the yin yang.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie makes me appreciate The Way even more than I did before. The four main characters seem like facsimiles of those in The Way (three men and a woman, one portly man who wasnu0026#39;t appreciated in relationship because of his appearance) but with none of the gravitas. Go watch The Way instead.”
