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
