Wait for Me

A definite continuation of the style and tone seen in Warp films like Dead Man's Shoes and Tyrannosaur, Keith Farrell has delivered a brilliant, yet uncompromising study of morality and obligation through the eyes of Karen Hassan's Alison, and Aaron Cobham's Sam.

The performances throughout are standout, with Karen Hassan, Aaron Cobham, and Sean McGinley in particular delivering performances that left me shellshocked. It's not an easy, light-hearted affair to put it mildly; but any other choice of tone would undermine the message Farrell is trying to deliver.

Overall, a fantastic thought-provoking film that will linger on the mind. I hope to see lots more from Keith Farrell and his talented cast in the future.

If you like plot twists, gritty British thrillers and a hard hitting storyline you'll love 'Wait For Me'.

Set in Northern England, the movie tells the story of an unlikely heroine trapped in unfortunate circumstances through no fault of her own. The plot takes her through a series of remarkable events involving some great characters played by a varied cast.

It's rare for a film to tackle real world issues head on and highlight some of the unsavory aspects of modern British life. This film did it really well.

Well worth a watch if you like a thriller that will keep you in suspense and make you think about your life.

Beautiful movie. Really well-written and directed by the creative film making team. Keith Farrell's direction really pulls you into the story. I found his film very haunting, emotional and moving as an overall journey. And the story arch of the two main characters stayed with me long after the film had ended which is pretty much how I judge my films these days. I thought the soundtrack was really good too, pulled at all the right heartstrings in all the right places. Again just beautiful and haunting. I would thoroughly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys independent gritty British drama/thrillers - You won't be disappointed. And the two leads were just brilliant to watch - Karen Hassan is a real force of nature and Aaron Cobham was excellent too. Some great talent behind and in front of the camera to look out for in the next few years.

This film starts off as a drama about life in a struggling community which is run by some kind of mafia/gang, with solid performance by the main actress, Karen Hassan. Unfortunately the biggest flaw of Bad Faith is its screenplay, which just feels extremely unnatural and staged. Every line sounds like a catch phrase and you just wonder why the characters don't communicate like normal people do. It actually comes through as a bit unsettling. Sadly other elements of the film could not save this story - even at 30 minutes we are still not quite sure what the main plot is and the cinematography looks like a cheap TV series. Overall it did not catch my attention at all, apart from the script, which definitely caught my attention - but in a seriously bad way.

I wasn't prepared for this movie to be as powerful as it was. At points there were scenes uncomfortable to see and the film kept my feeling tense - however this is what you want from a thriller!

The plot is compelling and kept me hooked throughout. Because of their unvarnished honesty, a few instances were unpleasant to see. For me, the father-daughter duo of Sean McGinley and Karen Hassan stood out as having an extremely complicated relationship. Hassan is great in her role playing a reckless character who has nothing left to lose.

It also offers a terrific payout. The shock level was increased by the opening sequence, which felt like being struck by a hammer.

Overall the movie is written really well and directed great by Farrell. One of the only films I have watched this year to keep me fully invested throughout. Really recommend to any thriller or drama fans.
