Brakes is an improv-based dark comedy set in London.
Leave your thoughts about Brakes.
| CineVueZoe MargolisThe story is so charming and the ensemble cast so great, that Grower's observations of romance amongst the disconnect of London life makes Brakes a genuinely pleasurable and heartfelt watch. |
| Dog and WolfAlexa DalbyA brilliantly conceived examination of that moment when relationships either work - or don't work. The end result is fascinating and unique. |
| CineuropaKaleem AftabSome audiences may be left disconcerted by the abrasive aesthetic of a film shot over four years in different digital formats, but the form does match the content, as the images look as uneven, unclear and unpredictable as the relationships themselves. |
| Screen InternationalCharles GantA labour of love that naturally encourages indulgence of its variable production values. |
| Time OutPhilip De SemlyenFull of wry observations on the way Londoners connect (and disconnect), 'Brakes' could be the perfect final date movie. |
| The Arts DeskVeronica LeeDespite being made on a tiny budget, Brakes often looks like a love letter to London while offering bleak insights into dysfunctional relationships. It's an accomplished debut. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeWhile the resourceful nature of Grower is commendable, it's a film, much like the relationships it depicts, that lacks that something special. |
| Total FilmNeil SmithThe odd chuckle of recognition helps paper over technical deficiencies. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeSome of it - the mortifying scenes featuring the brilliant Julia Davis, for example, or the hollow sense of loss in Kerry Fox's sequence - is rather wonderful. Other strands seem under-developed ... |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherBy turns utterly charming and inherently shambolic, this no-budget feature-directing debut from the actress Mercedes Grower is an ambitious trawl through London love lives, with a bonus structural gimmick. |
