Rare Beasts review - Billie Piper as triple threat

Self-described "anti-romcom" is nervy and edgy.

Rare Beasts, review

Billie Piper's 'anti-romcom' has a swipe at Laurence Fox.

Rare Beasts review

Masterful Billie Piper rips up the romcom rulebook.

Rare Beasts review

Billie Piper's directorial debut boasts much to admire but is still hard to enjoy.

Emma Simmonds, The List, 17th May 2021

Rare Beasts review

Single mother Mandy (Billie Piper) is a millennial woman in crisis. She's fallen in love -- or at least, into a relationship of sorts -- with colleague and kinda-misogynist Pete (Leo Bill); she works for a toxic company; her parents (Kerry Fox, David Thewlis) have separated and her son (Toby Woolf) has behavioural issues. Will, can, feminism help her through it all?

Brakes review - inconsistent improv comedy

An impressive array of comic talent just about saves this multi-stranded story of London relationships.

Wendy Ide, The Guardian, 26th November 2017

Film review: Brakes

Brakes might be set in London but it's much more like Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise than Truly, Madly Deeply.
