Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

An often intriguing, but perhaps over-ambitious work, Julie Walking Home examines the porous boundary between rationalism and faith, a line crossed when a young Canadian boy is diagnosed with cancer and conventional treatments fail. Hearing of a hands-on Russian healer operating in Poland, mother Julie (Otto) beats a hasty path to his nomadic door, son in tow, only to find herself stirred by his enigmatic presence. There's interesting comment on gender, generational and migrant difficulties throughout, but the success of the whole is challenged by an often frenetic assembly and a default to brisk psychology when more reflection is required.
