Off the Rails (2022), directed by Jules Williamson

In the 1980s four University friends, Liz, Anna, Kate and Cassie, went Interrailing in southern Europe, aiming to catch the biannual light show at the cathedral in Palma. They never made it and over the years, through work and family obligations, they have drifted apart. When Anna dies of cancer she leaves a task for the remaining three women to take her 18 year-old daughter, Maddie, on a quest to complete the journey and see the light show. This very slight film gets very silly towards the end, but the journey is nevertheless enjoyable, with a nice underlying message about letting go of the past and making the most of what you have. Jenny Seagrove is particularly resonant as single, broke Kate. It was Kelly Preston’s last film before she died from breast cancer, making her performance more poignant.
