Silent Country

About This Movie

So, Silent Country (2016) is this intriguing piece of sci-fi that really delves into a dark future Britain. The atmosphere is pretty heavy, almost oppressive, mirroring the oppressive regime the characters are escaping. The pacing has moments of tension and calm, which gives it a unique rhythm; it’s not your typical action-packed thriller. The performances of the two leads are quite compelling, adding depth to their struggle. There's a rawness to the practical effects that feels refreshing in an age of CGI, and it really enhances the gritty realism of the film. Overall, it stands out for its understated storytelling and bleak, yet thought-provoking themes about freedom and survival.
