Restless

The movie has some decent potential, but there's just not enough depth beyond the initial concept.

It starts out strong, then just sort of drags in the middle and tapers off with somewhat satisfying, but also a cop out resolution, and a cringe-worthy ending.

Imo the movie would've benefitted if it leaned more heavily into the dark and gritty, ominous atmosphere it had in the beginning.

It's also advertised as a thriller, but I'd say, apart from a couple of scenes, it's more anxious/angsty than thrilling.

I don't regret watching it, but it's not something I could see myself ever coming back to.

Restless is a decent thriller film .The biggest positive was lyndsay m performance,she's just outstanding in the film. The sound design is very good and the screenplay is well written except the last 15 min which is the climax .I found the climax really disappointing ,after all the build up and the tone the film generated,climax is utterly bad and the film sinks there .overall for the first 1 hr you can definitely give it a try if you are a thriller film lover .As I mentioned the performance of lyndsay m itself makes it a great watch .Direction by jed heart is very good and background score adds to it.

Just seen restless at an unlimited viewing . Had read a little Bit about it so decided to check it out . Do love a good British gritty drama and this film does not disappoint .

A recently orphaned middle aged lady whose son is at university . After her parents dying new neighbours move into the council house next door (also her parents old house ) the neighbour from hell. Loud, obnoxious, drug taking , loud music and lots of alcohol seems to be his life . And underage sex . New neighbour makes her life hell . Some great scenes and some real Insight into how situations can stress you and make you react how you normally Wouldn't . Defo worth a watch.

I had been looking forward to this one ever since I saw the trailer on YouTube. Maybe my expectations were too high, but the whole thing just fell flat. Still, I stuck with it, hoping it would pick up. Instead, it veered so far into the absurd that it lost any sense of believability. The writing didn't do it any favors either, clunky, uninspired, and completely lacking the tension you'd expect from something marketed as a thriller.

The premise had real potential, but it never felt fully realized. I've had my fair share of sketchy, loud neighbors, so on that front, I could relate. But I kept waiting for the story to take a darker, more gripping turn, something that would make the desperation feel urgent or earned. Unfortunately, that moment never entirely came until at the end and even then it was just.. there. Sadly won't be revisiting this one.

The entire time I watched this film I just kept imagining the many ways to nip the situation in the bud that seem to escape the main character. It comes down to bad writing. Of course you can't have conflict if things are easy to solve, and therefore no film. But after the tenth time ty at calling the police would have solved everything, I got angry. This is just torture. It's not horror, or drama, or a thriller. It's just annoying torture. Don't do what I did - you really don't need to stick it out til the end just because you started watching it. If you're looking this up on IMDb mid-watch to see if it gets any better, it doesn't. Try something else.
