What happens

The Salt Path is a 2024 British biographical drama film directed by Marianne Elliott and written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, based on the 2018 memoir by Raynor Winn. The film stars Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. The film premiered in the Special Presentations section at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival on 6 September 2024, and was released in the United Kingdom by Black Bear UK on 30 May 2025. The Salt Path received mixed reviews from critics, who admired the cinematography and the performances by the leading actors, but thought that it was let down by the script. Some background events central to the premise of the book were disputed following an investigative piece in July 2025 by The Observer, which stated that Winn lost her home after stealing £64,000 from her employer, and cast doubt on her husband's diagnosis of CBD. Raynor has since denied these claims and said she was taking legal advice. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
