Speak No Evil review: Strap in for an exhilarating ride with mad McAvoy, writes BRIAN VINER
The film, by writer-director James Watkins, is a slick remake of the 2022 Danish film of the same title.There's some comedy throughout plus lines about differences between Americans and Brits.
It begins in a hotel in Tuscany, where a buttoned-up American family — Ben (Scoot McNairy), Louise (Mackenzie Davis) and 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler) — are befriended by extrovert, souped-up Englishman Paddy (James McAvoy), his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi) and their son Ant (Dan Hough). The Americans live in London, and visit their new-found pals at their home in the West Country, where by increments their hosts seem a little eccentric, if not downright weird, if not full-on deranged. Reawakening is an intelligent, intense drama about working-class Londoners John and Mary (superbly played by Jared Harris and Juliet Stevenson), whose daughter Clare has been missing for ten years, having run away when she was 14.
