    A Classic Gritty British Crime Thriller

    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.

    Beautifully written

    This was a really powerful film, more so than I was expecting it to be. Uncomfortable to watch at times and remains edgy. The story is strong and the revelations held my attention throughout. A couple of scenes were uncomfortable to watch due to their raw honesty. Sean McGinley and Karen Hassan were stand out for me as the father and daughter with the most complex relationship. She is very convincing as the woman with nothing left to lose and the finale kept me tense throughout. It has a very satisfying payoff too. The opening scene was like being hit by a hammer as it escalates the shock level. Very clever writing.

    Great Film

    Decided to give this a watch over the weekend as it is now available online and it had me gripped the whole way through. It has been well written and directed by Keith Farrell, who has brought the storyline to life, not to mention some great actors who have perfectly portrayed the characters and the storyline.

    If you're looking for a film to keep you captivated with a meaningful storyline, this is the right film for you. It's great to see films like this come to life and flourish in the film industry.

    Wait For Me is definitely one to watch, I will definitely be watching more of these kinds of films in the future.

    The Best Film I've Seen This Year

    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.

    In my top 3 thrillers of the year so far!

    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.
