Hold Back The Night

HOLD BACK THE NIGHT, directed by Phil Davis and produced by long-time Ken Loach collaborator Sally Hibbin, is the story of two Scottish youngsters, Charleen (Christine Tremarco) and Declan (Stuart Sinclair Blyth), on the run from the past, their families, and the police.

Critic's review of Hold Back The Night
View all critics' reviews (2)
- A small-scale, gritty road movie with revelations of sexual abuse and parental estrangement along the way; it has nothing fresh to say.
