Damian Lewis’s puritanical minister and Andrea Riseborough’s terrorised wife must deal with an unexpected arrival
Stunning views of the Isle of Mull lend much-needed beauty to this sternly overwrought tale of puritanical minister Balor McNeil (Damian Lewis) terrorising his outsider wife Aislin (Andrea Riseborough) on an increasingly deserted Scottish island. When young offender Fionn (Ross Anderson) is dumped on his doorstep, the minister’s perpetual seething enters a new register, so it’s a relief to everyone when he sets sail on a boat full of church pews, leaving wife and incomer to fend for themselves. Cinematographer Ed Rutherford, who worked wonders for Joanna Hogg on Archipelago and Exhibition, skilfully marks the tonal shift from shadowy storm clouds to hallucinogenic sunshine, leaving Riseborough and Anderson to frolic briefly in this fragile new Eden, awaiting the returning tempest. Writer-director Corinna McFarlane counterposes Bergmanesque interiors with gaping exteriors, while Alastair Caplin’s eerie,...

Damian Lewis and Andrea Riseborough play an unhappily married clergyman and his wife in Corinna McFarlane’s camp Scottish affair
Corinna McFarlane’s gibbering Highland melodrama huffs and puffs around the turbulent marriage of none-more-Presbyterian clergyman Damian Lewis and put-upon Andrea Riseborough. Opening to prenatal hyperventilating, it rapidly ascends to the kingdom of heaven-help-us once the Lord places strapping, poetry-quoting delinquent Ross Anderson under their care. Handed a solitary note to hammer away on throughout, both leads come to look terribly silly. A shirtless Lewis (representing “Punishment”) drags a wooden framework across a beach (Christ!). Riseborough (“Forgiveness”) wibbles through a midfilm magic mushroom interlude that finally brings some colour – well, mud – to her cheeks. Considerable camp value, but everybody’s looking for the Tipp-Ex with which to update their CVs.

★★☆☆☆ Writer-director Corinna McFarlane's The Silent Storm is anything but silent. Or nuanced. Or subtle. Set on a remote, nondescript island off the coast of Scotland in the late 1940s, it is a raucous, disjointed cacophony of marital disharmony, community disintegration and tyrannical piety. A gifted British cast, comprising Damian Lewis, Andrea Riseborough and the briefest of Kate Dickie cameos, do not give performances worthy of their standing but are nonetheless hampered by loose, uncertain direction that lacks purpose or clarity. An encouraging turn from newcomer Ross Anderson is the only saving grace here.

"We each have our duties in this life..." A trailer has debuted online for an indie drama called The Silent Storm, set on a remote Scottish island telling the story of a marriage falling apart helped by the arrival of a troubled young boy. Damian Lewis stars as a local minister and Andrea Riseborough plays his wife. This actually first premiered at the London Film Festival back in 2014 and hasn't played at any other fests since then, with the distributor holding onto it for a while. Is it worth the wait? I'm not sure. The full cast includes Ross Anderson, Kate Dickie, Eric Robertson, and John Sessions. This actually looks solid, with some great cinematography and a strong story of love and chaos. Might be worth catching? Take a look. Here's the official trailer for Corinna McFarlane's The Silent Storm, found on YouTube (via The Playlist): On a wild and remote Scottish island,...

Premiering two years ago at the London Film Festival, "The Silent Storm" has been on the shelf since, not screening at any other festivals, nor drawing any kind of buzz. But just like that, the movie is gearing up to open overseas, and now we can take a peek at the drama featuring Damian Lewis and Andrea Riseborough. Read More: Shelved Movies: 18 Films With Delayed Releases Written and directed by Corinna McFarlane, the story is set on a remote Scottish island where a troubled teen is sent to live with a pastor and his wife, upturning their ascetic life. It's definitely not the sexiest of material, which may be why it's taken so long to find the big screen, but it does look to feature two strong turns at the center of the movie. Here's the official synopsis: On a wild and remote Scottish island, the respected local minister, Balor,...
