As far as plotlines go, this is an unusual one. And with movies, I favor unusual plots. Then you have Lasse Hallström directing. Additionally, I’ve been a huge admirer of Emily Blunt’s screen work for some time, so this was a must see for me.
A slow, patient film, much like the sport of fishing. Yet it was also rewarding and engaging. I quickly discovered later via Google that there is not, in fact, salmon fishing in Yemen. This is based on a novel, not a true story.
