Soundproof

Watched this on the recommendation of friend and really enjoyed it - there is so much bland content created for streaming now it is almost a surprise if it's decent - and this is for sure . Very atmospheric and moody - parts of it feel a bit bad dream like . Surprised to read it was first time directors - be interested to see where they take the next one with a bit of experience under their belts.

Great cast - jo felt a very real and Kev carried an air of menace throughout . Infact I thought all the main characters were very watchable .

Nice to see a little indie movie give the big budgets a run for their money .

This was an excellent production that kept my interest from start to finish. The acting and all the characters were spot on and believable. There were some violent scenes in places but they were well done and I thought necessary for the plot development. The locations were made the most of too and added to the interest of the movie.

The only goof I detected was towards the end of the movie where Tom returns a salute. If he was ex British army he would not have saluted palm down - that being the navy salute. A minor fault.

I didn't recognise any of the cast but they all did a top job. Can only recommend as an entertaining and gripping watch.

This is a thrilling watch, the tone of the movie is generally hard hitting and at times quite a dark and gritty drama but well balanced with humour and some beautiful locations. The intimacy and intensity of the mobile home and in-car scenes mixed with the sweeping shots of the lake and surrounding post-apocalyptic structures are a visual treat.

Above all, the casting / acting is fantastic. The raw talent and actors' abilities to uplift this film from an aesthetically pleasing flick to a thoroughly captivating indy movie, kept me on the edge of my seat.

I can't wait to see what the director and actors have in store for us next!

Soundproof is a gripping story with a realistic gritty & believable plot line. The acting was accomplished and convincing. There is plenty of action and drama. It deals sensitively with hard hitting issues. The mothers character is very relatable and you feel immediate sympathy for her. The daughters character is also especially sympathetic. Set in London and Kent with incredible cinematography. There is a bit of realistic violence which isn't gratuitous but could upset younger viewers. It would be fantastic to see in on the big screen, but sadly this is not currently possible but do yourself a favour and watch it!

I watched this purely based on the high praise received in several reviews. I generally avoid "low budget" and I very much avoid "low budget British" as they tend to be "not very good". Gritty, real life, real people, intense type films don't really interest me. However I thought I'd be open minded and supportive (based on the reviews) and give it a go. Needless to say I'm writing this review now and (hang on)... there are still over 20 minutes to go. The 73 minutes that have gone so far could have been covered in about 10. That's how slow it is. I honestly don't care what happens to any of the people in it. If they all end up dead I think that's fine. As long as something actually happens. 18 minutes left. Nothing yet...
