Wait for Me (2023)

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.
