The journey is the star.

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2011)

Peter Weir depicts the story of a small group of people as they struggle against nature, oppression, and their own frailties. As their strength dwindles their reasons to go on must sustain them. Will they be enough?
The Way Back takes as it's subject our very will to live. And examines it in the most beautiful and extreme of settings: Each character being tested to their physical, psychological, and (in one case) spiritual breaking point.
In this movie you will feel the characters' pain and cold, their fear and doubt, their wonder, and their hope. But it is the journey, not the characters, or the scenery that is the star of this show.
This movie will leave it's mark on you.
