Ever since her brother (Thomas Williamson), a low level drugdealer, was
murdered in the streets, Keeley (Kerry Newton) has been fallen apart, and
the lack of understanding from her father (Alan Austen), who had given up
on her brother long before his death, hasn't made things any easier.
Resenting society as such, she has converted to Islam - or rather a
splinter group that has little to do with actual Islam but serves as a
refuge for those who feel diesnfranchised by society and are thus easily
radicalized. And in the cell consisting of her and two other recent
converts (Lisa Lian, Victoria Armanini), they plan revenge on society, be
it on Keeley's father and his new wife (Josie O'Rourke), or on an
islamophobic journalist (Sean Francis Mclaughlin), and this revenge might
be quite bloody. However, they plan for something much bigger - and
deadlier ...
Now Keeley is not an easy film to watch and process,
especially since it's a movie that's easy to misunderstand, also due to
the ambiguous nature of all of its protagonists, and also a high level of
relatability even if their actions are clearly deplorable. This is also
mirrored in the camerawork that's often shaky and jittery, giving the film
an aura of uncertainty. It's most certrainly a film that will stay with
you quite wome while after watching - and it's a very fascinating film for
that.
