Keane

About This Movie

Keane is a haunting dive into the psyche of a broken man. William Keane, played by Damien Lewis, is utterly compelling, portraying a father spiraling into despair after his daughter's abduction. The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, enhanced by Lodge Kerrigan’s minimalist direction and the almost claustrophobic feeling of the bus terminal. The pacing is slow, almost meditative, but it works to deepen the sense of his obsession. It’s raw and unflinching, showcasing the lengths a parent will go for closure. The sound design, with its ambient noise, pulls you into Keane’s troubled mind. Not the kind of film you’d throw on for a casual watch, but it sticks with you—a study in grief and desperation.
