THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND
UK, Comedy, 2025
100 mins, Rated M
Cast: Carey Mulligan, Tim Key, Tom Basden, Steve Marsh

Charles is a lottery winner who leads an eccentric life. He lives alone on the remote Wallis island and dreams of finding a way to get his favourite musicians, the folk duo of McGwyer and Mortimer back together again.

His fantasy turns into reality when McGwyer and Mortimer accept his invitation to play a private show on the island, not knowing that Charles has invited both of them.

Once the "surprise" is revealed, old tensions quickly resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream and have the two musicians reunite.

"This is a sublime comedy. It bewitches with its humour, has a host of wonderful soulful folk tunes and makes the most of its breathtaking locations." - Roger Ebert

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
