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.

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

4/5

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

3/5

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.

Silver Haze is a true gem, one that demands to be seen and savored for its poignant portrayal of human emotion and resilience.

4/5

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.

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]

absolutely crushingly film, a slice of unresolvable reality that just breaks the heart time and time again. this film shows the constantly poisoned yang in our lives of yin and yang. absolutely fantastic actors and wholly immersive story. in this film we get to see how no matter how true and hopeful a person may be... the endless spiraling defeats that they endlessly must endure. i can relate in facing a lifetime as a magnet for abusive personalities and a life stacked against me for simply being a victim of morally lacking abusers. this movie is a Rosetta stone to the futility of it all.
