Wait for Me is a drama following two strangers that meet and find themselves realizing they could be doing more with their lives. They look to escape the world of vice to be with the daughter she gave up. Although, that isn’t as easy as she would like it to be.

This takes us into a world of vice and shows us how trapped the victims can become. It shows that people could help people find a way out, but the lingering shadow could always haunt them. This movie gets to create a bleak world that finds a moment of hope. Karen Hassan and Aaron Cobham are both wonderful in the leading two roles. While Theo Ogundipe is terrifying in his. The raw emotions coming out of this movie to tell the story on a powerful level that people would want to reach out to help the characters too.
