The Ballad of Wallis Island

Opens Apr 4
NEW RELEASE
Directed by James Griffiths (2025)
With Tom Basden, Tim Key, Carey Mulligan, Akemnji Ndifornyen, Sian Clifford

Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island, dreams of getting his favorite musicians, Mortimer-McGwyer (Carey Mulligan and Tom Basden), back together. His fantasy quickly becomes real when the former bandmates—and former lovers—accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island, causing old tensions to resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.
