The Silent Storm Ratings & Reviews
One Room With A View
Danielle Davenport
McFarlane's feature debut overflows with expansive and explosive emotions. An intense picture that does not coddle, The Silent Storm embraces its atmospheric identity, fervent soundtrack and otherworldly environment.
Total Film
Neil Smith
[An] overwrought period drama, which doesn't want for notable names but does cry out for a script rejig.
RTÉ (Ireland)
Paddy Kehoe
[An] over-wrought melodrama which sinks like a failed flan in the middle.
Sunday Independent (Ireland)
Hilary A White
The scenery is the only respite from the all-thumbs filmmaking that features overwrought music, ghastly fade-outs and even a psychotropic interlude.
Irish Independent
Paul Whitington
The high winds of hamminess roar through the rafters in Corinna McFarlane's The Silent Storm.
Film Ireland Magazine
Dee O'Donoghue
While the Scottish landscape has never looked more enticing, sadly, majestic mountains and sweeping seascapes cannot plaster over the uncomfortable cracks in McFarlane's feature debut.
Sky Cinema
Andy Psyllides
Aside from striking natural beauty there's little to recommend ...
Radio Times
Trevor Johnston
The good intentions are palpable, but sadly the results are rather turgid and the overblown choral score only makes matters worse.
CineVue
Matthew Anderson
This debut feature is a gale force onslaught of isolation, verbal aggression and incessantly overbearing choral music that does not hit any of the right notes.
The List
Angie Errigo
Given the proven abilities of the principal participants, it's all unforgivably inept and a credit some of them might prefer to expunge from their CVs.
Empire Magazine
Anna Smith
Riseborough steals the show in a moody period drama loaded with atmosphere and tension.
Independent (UK)
Geoffrey Macnab
This is a dour three-hander, set on a remote Scottish island in the 1940s.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Patrick Smith
Stultifyingly vapid.
Observer (UK)
Mark Kermode
Writer-director Corinna McFarlane counterposes Bergmanesque interiors with gaping exteriors, while Alastair Caplin's eerie, evocative score cranks up the searing, brooding mood.
Irish Times
Tara Brady
Everything about The Silent Storm suggests a screenplay was written entirely IN CAPITAL LETTERS. No "r" goes unrolled, no piece of furniture is unpounded.
Times (UK)
Kate Muir
As Balor, [Damian Lewis'] sour, guilt-ridden Protestant work ethic clashes increasingly with that of his wife Aislin, an ethereal Celtic creature seemingly washed in from the sea, played by Andrea Riseborough.
Time Out
Cath Clarke
Damian Lewis might decide to let this iffy British drama slip off his CV.
Guardian
Mike McCahill
Considerable camp value, but everybody's looking for the Tipp-Ex with which to update their CVs.
