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.
