The Last Bus (certificate 12A)
22 October 2021
Milborne Port Village Hall, Springfield Road, Milborne Port, DT9 5RE
A foreshadowed event sets creaky, muttering Timothy Spall on a cross-Britain pilgrimage to Lands End utilising the free bus network that he can access with his travel pass.
With his map of the UK, precious brown suitcase and habit of nodding off, he learns to rely on a string of kind-hearted strangers, from hen-night revellers to a Ukrainian wedding.
The movie's momentum is arduously slow, thanks to the arbitrary timetable, and changes of location are signalled more by bus company livery than by scenery, but it's neatly told and briskly patted into feel-good shape by director Gilles MacKinnon.
Spall makes believable if not always generous company, and you'll find yourself cheering him on to his destiny.
