This film seems to have just withered in some distributor's keeping, and then vanished. Has any American IMDB board member seen it? Does anyone know if such a thing as "wide release" exists in the U.K.? Why would a film featuring a star as admired as Lewis be allowed to literally disappear?
shareIt's available to stream on ITunes. I just saw it. Damian Lewis fans won't care for the character he plays in the film, but for ITunes to post a Rottentomato review (in the "More") subsection, saying he should wipe this role off his "CV"--it's just wrong.
As usual, he invests himself in the character he plays. I watched the rental again and think that anyone impressed by his Soames Forsyte will get a repeat performance of the same slightly deranged, self-obsessed character in "The Silent Storm." Unlike Soames, his Reverend McNeil is not a wealthy man, but an alcoholic religious zealot.
