**Ends Thursday, February 16th!**

"It's a sweet and sincere family pilgrimage ... Audiences seeking uplift will find it here." - Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"Funny, moving, hip and transcendent all at the same time, THE WAY is both deeply thoughtful and enormous fun to watch." - Ann Hornaday, THE WASHINGTON POST

"I was overcome by its dignity and sincerity, and by the rough, rude, gorgeous magic of its journey." - Andrew O'Hehir, SALON

"Gentle, likable and profoundly touching, it makes you want to dig out the hiking boots and make the same journey." - Angie Errigo, EMPIRE MAGAZINE

THE WAY is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends, and the challenges we face while navigating this ever changing and complicated world. Golden globe-winning actor Martin Sheen (APOCALYPSE NOW, THE DEPARTED, THE WEST WING) plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to St. Jean Pied de Port, France to collect the remains of his adult son (played by Sheen's real-life son, Emilio Estevez, who also directed the film), killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking The Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home, Tom decides embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn't plan on, is the profound impact the journey will have on him and his "California Bubble Life". Inexperienced as a trekker, Tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey.
