King of the Fells

About This Movie

So, 'King of the Fells' dives deep into the world of fell running, which is, honestly, a really intense sport. Joss Naylor, this English sheep farmer, becomes the heart of the film—his love for the landscape and the sport is palpable. You get a sense of the grit and sheer determination it takes to conquer those rugged terrains, and the storytelling flows along nicely. The way they weave in Joss’s memories, the apple cake and Guinness moments, feels very personal. It’s not just about the records he broke, but the spirit of the Lake District itself. The visuals are stunning, capturing the raw beauty of the fells, and the pace of the film feels like a long-distance run—steady, yet exhilarating, with just the right emotional beats.
