Daphne review
British indie finds laughs and heart in the existential dread of London life.
Owen Richards, The Arts Desk, 26th January 2018Daphne review
I am always conscious of taking budgets and constraints in mind when assessing the final output of a feature film and I am a big fan of when a film punches above it's weight, but the script behind Daphne is so thin Weight Watchers would kill to know it's secret.

The Guardian, 21st December 2015Daphne review
Daphne also aren't afraid to play around with racial stereotypes given that -- for once -- this isn't comedy made by a bunch of white guys, which (for the mainly white audience) adds to that creeping sense of discomfort. In a good way. And in a funny way. Though you may walk out feeling slightly sensorily assaulted.
