Audience Reviews

GraceNicole 10/10 Oct 17, 2023
Since this is now available online I decided to give it a watch 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.

A really gripping thriller. Wait for Me really looks at the true reality which some individuals in society have to face. Karen Hassan, playing Alison, plays the role well of a lost soul, dealing with difficult decisions. The overall film has a real sense of longing and thoughtfulness both in its script and direction. Highly recommend to any other drama / thriller fans.
WillAdamson Oct 31, 2023
A thoroughly enjoyable crime thriller. Director Keith Farrell depicts a brutal life lived by the main character, Alison; and the widespread consequences of her actions. If you're looking for a light-hearted easy watch, this might not be the film for you.

A brilliant film, I couldn't recommend it any more.
