What people are saying

  • SWITCH.
    β˜… 6/10

    Come the conclusion of 'Hope Gap', audiences certainly feel that there is hope, but the gaps along the way are too frequent to feel any genuine satisfaction. I sincerely hope that Nicholson achieved what he set out to do, but as for taking audiences along for his therapy ride, it's not needed. Go for the acting masterclass, stay for the unbelievable amounts of tea and the gorgeous seaside, but don't expect to leave with much more. - Joel Kalkopf Read Joel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-hope-gap-enough-hope-but-too-many-gaps
