John O'Groats, Scotland: An elderly man, Tom (Timothy Spall), whose wife has just passed away uses only local buses on a nostalgic trip to carry her ashes all the way across the UK to Land's End, where they originally met, using his free bus pass. Unbeknownst to Tom, his journey begins to capture the imagination of the local people that he comes across and, ultimately, becomes a nationwide story.
“The Last Bus” is several things, but above all it’s a moving meditation on life, love, and the commitments we make to those closest to us. It’s also a beautiful reminder of the blessing of memories." - Keith and the Movies
"This British drama has such a tender, heart-warming premise, that is incredibly difficult not to be moved by it." - Common Sense Media
"A touching film that will remind all of us to embrace the ones we love as often as we can." - Film Threat
