The Way, My Way is the charming and captivating true story of a stubborn and amusingly self-centered Australian man who decides to walk the 800 kilometer-long Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route through Spain. He doesn't know why he's doing it, but one step at a time it will change him and his outlook on life forever. Based on Bill Bennett's best selling memoir of the same name, The Way, My Way has been described by Camino elder statesman Johnnie Walker as the most authentic film ever made about the Camino.

3/5

This is a quiet, gentle, uplifting film about freeing oneself from the everyday and discovering the comfort of strangers - though not in the way Ian McEwan imagines.

The Way, My Way is hardly riveting viewing -- but its softly inquisitive, life-affirming spirit is hard to hate.

The Way, My Way is a film that delivers exactly what the marketing is promising. This is a cheerful, modest and good-hearted movie – and I hope it finds the audience it deserves.

The journey appears as a ramble but slowly takes form as Bill nears his destination and brings new meaning to that lovely old cliche about how every ending is really a new beginning...a modest, finely etched, uplifting Australian film.

Great independent true story film about one man’s journey walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I saw an early screening in California and really hope it gets a wider release in the US.

Very nice cinematography, ethos was spot on. Maybe could have used more scenes re walking the Camino. Overall a sweet movie having walked the Camino, I would have liked a bit more on what one sees en route, lodging in albergues, etc. to entice others to walk this fabulous pilgrimage.
