23-year-old Franky is a nurse who lives with her large family in an East London borough. Obsessed with a thirst for revenge and a need to assign guilt for a traumatic event that happened 15 years before, she is unable to build any meaningful relationship until she falls in love with one of her patients – Florence. They escape to the coast where Florence lives with her more open-minded patchwork family. There, Franky finds the emotional shelter to deal with the grudges of the past.

Critics Consensus

Silver Haze offers an authentic look at overcoming trauma that lingers like the memory of a first love despite occasionally being overcast by its multi-thematic fog.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

It's unusual, it's not like anything you'll see in the cinema... it's terrific.

David Jenkins

Little White Lies

A messy film, but in a very lifelike and truthful way. Knight and Creed-Miles are amazing.

Rated: 4/5

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

Silver Haze is a sombre, thoughtful film about depression and what is (and isn’t) likely to promote emotional healing, performed with openness and honesty.

Rated: 3/5

Olivia Savage

Loud and Clear Reviews

With stylistic choices reminiscent of Andrea Arnold’s Red Road (2006) and Fish Tank (2009), Silver Haze is a candid exploration of trauma and trust.

Rated: 4/5

El Pais (Spain)

The normal thing would be to feel pity for the creatures in the film; what they cause is boredom. There is never analysis, but rather gloating in the characters' own cruelty. [Full review in Spanish]
