Wait for Me

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.

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.

Wait For Me is a throwback to the maverick days of Indie film making. Director Keith Farrell brings us a story uncompromising in its dark delivery. A brilliant performance from Karen Hassan never overshadows the sterling input from Elva Trill and old nugget Sean McGinley with subtle gems to be found in Kelli Hollis as the.beleaguered.brothel madam and in Theo Ogundipe as the the viciously understated henchman Barry.

The film is thought provoking in a way I haven't seen since Ken Loach and Shane Meadows were breaking new ground. It seems like far too long since Paddy Considine gave us Tyrannosaur and a lifetime ago since since the industry offered us the grit of Ladybird Ladybird, Nil By Mouth and This is England. Wait For Me is a worthy nod to those fearless days of film and Keith Farrell is most certainly one to watch.

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.
