I think The Ballad of Wallis Island is the best British romcom since I Know Where I’m Going! (1945), which it closely resembles.

The Ballad Of Wallis Island is in UK cinemas from today. I love it to pieces. Tim Key had me laughing uncontrollably, relentlessly... and then crying. It's an extremely funny and very touching, often sincerely sad film about loneliness, loss, music, fandom, integrity, ego, vanity, the lot. See it!
