Silver Haze | Review by: Stefano Bove

 

A young nurse in her early 20’s named Franky ( Vicky Knight) forms a relationship with a suicide survivor named Florence ( Esme Creed- Miles) For a while, it seems they are the Missing piece to help each other cope with their past traumas but Florence’s unpredictable behaviour and Franky’s deep seeded rage never truly mix. 

The film focuses on young working class British women who are coping with family trauma, suicide, abandonment issues and pain. Loosely based on Vicky Knights life, the film is its strongest during its high intense sparring matches, allowing us to enter their world and feel the pain and anger that they live with everyday. 

Silver Haze premiered in 2023 at the Panorama section of the 73rd Berlinale, where it won the prestigious Teddy Jury Award. Silver Haze is now available to watch on all Video on Demand platforms. 

3/5
