Review
Jane Rackham
Police canteen worker Alison (Rose Ayling-Ellis) is excited to be asked by the CID to use her lip-reading skills for a covert operation. They need her to decipher the surveillance conversations of a gang plotting a high-stakes heist but, although Alison is a smart young woman, she becomes so embroiled in the investigation she puts herself at risk.
Catherine Moulton’s ground-breaking script cleverly shows what it’s like to be a deaf lip reader through the thoughtless attitude of others and subtitles that gradually make sense as Alison pieces the sentences together. But it’s also a gripping crime story, told by an impressive cast including Andrew Buchan, Charlotte Ritchie, Kieron Moore, Beth Goddard and Joe Absolom.
