About This Movie

Best Wishes is an intriguing watch, a slice of life that feels so grounded yet has a dreamy quality to it. The story revolves around Jasper, an old widower, whose routine of making coffee in two mugs and picking up trash becomes a kind of meditation. There’s a real tenderness in the way the film captures his solitude and the odd treasures he finds, especially that envelope with the old wedding photos. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the quiet moments and the layers of Jasper's character. Walls directs with a gentle hand, guiding the performances into something really heartfelt. It’s a mix of adventure in the mundane, and the practical effects subtly reflect Jasper's world – it feels lived in, honest. Definitely leaves you pondering.
