Definitely not what I was expecting given that Brian Cox stars in this film. Olga Kurylenko is good (as always) and Mr Cox is outstanding because he always is. But other actors let the film down severely. It races from London to France and back again with a very corny ending - the dialogue of which channels a Disney movie. If you were thinking of great entertainment during Lockdown 2… think again, it’s more frustrating than frightening. The Bay Of Silence needs more pace, a sharper script and more verve to get things going; each scene looked very staged and incongruous to me. 3/10
Was expecting better from this.olga kurayanga is very good and one feels she was expecting something a lot better when she read the book it was based on. But the script and direction are so poor that in the end it is a convoluted mess.
Staidly directed family drama about a young mother with post-natal depression… or is it more than that? A kind of mystery thriller that’s never really believable, it’s competent enough if you like slow-burn Sunday night TV fare. More likely, you may find you don’t give a toss.
