Brian And Charles review

David Earl and Chris Hayward's moving buddy comedy about a man who builds a companion in his shed has charm to spare, writes Mark Kermode.

Brian And Charles review

Offbeat comedies often have difficulty with tone, but Brian And Charles manages to make both the moments of comedy and menace work.

Brian And Charles review

I'm a little saddened by Brian & Charles, because it would only take a few tweaks to make it utterly loveable.

Susan Singfield, Bouquets & Brickbats, 9th July 2022

Brian And Charles review

Jim Archer's debut feature is an odd-couple comedy with the emphasis firmly on odd, which takes a dark turn when Charles is stolen by the village bully.

Brian And Charles review

Earl and Hayward are an adorable double act and when the possibility of separation looms large, the lump in our throats is sizeable.

Brian And Charles review

Brian And Charles is a whimsy of such sweet, optimistic nature that you forget the silliness of its premise and forgive its simplistic storytelling.

Brian And Charles review

David Earl and Chris Hayward's story of an inventor's relationship with his creation blends Caractacus Potts with Victor Frankenstein to heartwarming effect.
