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.

[An] overwrought period drama, which doesn't want for notable names but does cry out for a script rejig.

Everything about The Silent Storm suggests a screenplay was written entirely IN CAPITAL LETTERS. No "r" goes unrolled, no piece of furniture is unpounded.

[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.
