Review of Bait

Bait (I) (2019)
6/10
Interesting plot but sedate & arthouse
22 May 2022
In a Cornish fishing village, tensions arise between the struggling locals and the invading tourists.

A very low budget film, shot in black and white. It almost seems like an amateur or student film. However, it's extremely credible with strong characters.

The lead, Edward Rowe, is excellent.

The plot is interesting but takes some time to get going. The pace is fairly sedate. I really like the modern theme about the challenges of rural Cornish fishing communities and the impact of tourism.

Overall, a bit of a slow and arthouse style with an interesting modern plot.
