Benjamin Opens In UK Cinemas

We’re excited to announce that Benjamin is now in cinemas! With United Agents’ Colin Morgan starring as the eponymous lead role and with Production Design by Hannah Purdy Foggin.

The semi-autobiographical debut feature of Simon Amstell, Benjamin follows a young filmmaker as he stresses over the final edit of his second film. However his mind is somewhat taken off the pressure of living up to his BAFTA-winning debut when he meets French musician, Noah. Despite Benjamin’s innate awkwardness – “You are French. I'm a big fan of Les Misérables,” he blurts out on their first date – romance starts to gently blossom.

“…charming and keenly felt” – Empire Magazine ****

“Morgan delivers some killer lines in a stumbling, embarrassed style that makes Benjamin, really a very self-centred man, adorable and rather pitiable… a really excellent film” – NME ****

“Colin Morgan…nails Amstell’s signature cackle” – The Observer ****

“Morgan is a revelation in the title role” – List Film****

“Colin Morgan… is a brilliantly quivering mess who charms, even as he blurts out the wrong thing to say” – Irish Times

“Funny and witty but also really loving and gentle” – Front Row, BBC Radio 4
