"You know that old runner’s trick? You see something in the distance - a building, a tree. You tell yourself you’re only going to run to that point. But when you get there, you don’t stop. You keep running. You deceive yourself. It works."
|
Paul meets John while he's out running. A sinister chain of events arouses his suspicions about his new friend. But by then it's too late - their lives are bound together by a shared fate.

DECEIVE YOURSELF.

What the critics say about MILE END
“a compelling psychological thriller” - Quadrapheme
“brilliant UK filmmaking” - Crispy Sharp Film
“twisted and tense London-set thriller” - Raindance Film Festival
"reveals and nuances that even David Fincher would be proud of" - UK Film Review
"A different take on the East End" - Film Debate
"Beautiful and unsettling" - Quadrapheme
"striking…unpredictable and surprising throughout" - Letterboxd
"stylish and gripping" - Derby Film Festival
“Mile End is the debut from writer/director Graham Higgins ...[a] psychosexual Fight Club set in East London. John is Paul’s Tyler Durden, inspiring minor flashes of civil and social disobedience against a greedy corporate enemy." - Crispy Sharp Film
"...what John (Mark Arnold) really wants is a brother. He goes Full Farley, which for fans of Strangers On A Train means he’ll take out anyone who has disrespected Paul (Alex Humes), Farley Granger-style." - Film Debate
“A disturbing insight into what happens if our darker dreams come true.” - Quadrapheme
"Arnold is a captivating antagonist, with features that remind you of Patton Oswalt, William H. Macy or Charles Napier." - Film Debate
“reflect[s] a growing discomfort between Londoners and their financial emperors.” - Crispy Sharp Film
“…ambiguities make the rising tension even more uncomfortable. We are left wondering exactly who is in danger and who is responsible as sinister events take place. At first it seems that Paul and those close to him are at risk from John, whose obsessiveness and lack of control are brought to light; but as the story gradually unfolds a more complex picture emerges.” - Quadrapheme
“Canary Wharf looms over the characters, and the city, like a dystopian panopticon, forcing people to adjust their behaviour and appearance in line with the needs of financial London.” - Crispy Sharp Film
“Cinematographer Anna Valdez Hanks gives the film...a slick look.” - Film Debate
“stylish and thought-provoking” - Quadrapheme
"makes a good fist at gentrifying what we think of as the East End London thriller" - Film Debate
“John (Mark Arnold) brings a highly effective growing unease to this intriguing character-based drama, and the cast do a fantastic job of dissipating this throughout the film. His seeming kindness is never far from also seeming creepy and unhinged. The actors’ performance is matched by the score, which deftly conveys all that remains unspoken and sets the perfect mood for this twisted tale.” - Raindance Film Festival
