Every month, our film club chooses a film and meets to discuss it. This month, we watched "The Silent Coast", a thriller set on a small island in Norway.

It's about a young journalist who travels to the island to write about a lighthouse that has been closed for fifty years. Soon she discovers that the villagers are hiding a secret, and strange things start to happen at night.

Most of us enjoyed it. The photography was stunning, and the main actress was excellent. However, Tomas thought the ending was disappointing because some questions were never answered. I agree that the ending was a bit confusing, but in my opinion that's what made it interesting. Next month, it's a comedy — I think we'll all need a laugh!
