SOUNDPROOF
Prime Video & Apple TV
★★★★☆
THIS low-budget British drama proves it is stars rather than talent that the movie industry cares about.
It is surely the lack of household names that caused this little gem to end up on streaming services Prime Video and Apple TV rather than in cinemas.

Georgina Rich, from Black Mirror, is outstanding as single parent Jo, who needs to find safety for herself and her two young children after dating lowlife Kevin (Joe Macauley).
Trouble follows her around. There is mysterious new guy Tom (Craig Russell) and Kevin’s not-to-be-messed-with gangster brother Pete (Jonny Phillips) to worry about.
First-time directors Margaret Rogerson and Mark Hayman should be commended for the natural performances of all the cast, particularly youngsters Ellie Bindman and Gabe Robinson.
Their feelings are often better expressed by what they don’t say than what they do.
The highlight is the darkly comical double act of world-weary Pete and Milan (Kayla Meikle), who clearly don’t want to be together on a tense road trip.
Soundproof is worth making a noise about.
