Review of Camino

Camino (2023)
7/10
A Journey
10 April 2023
The El camino de Santiago pilgrimage is a twelve hundred year old tradition and Camino uses it as a backdrop to the story of a Danish father and daughter who decide to make the trek after the death of his wife and her mother.

The scenery is spectacular but Jan and Regitze spend most of the journey arguing about mundane things between the two of them and I hoped for a more spiritual outlook, such as the style of the Martin Sheen film The Way, directed by his son, Emilio Estevez.

Both movies used a scene with a giant smoking urn swaying from a ceiling at a cathedral. The interior shot is mesmerizing but the Sheen vision is a much deeper one.

I will give extra credit for an unexpected ending.
