Simon Amstell strip-mines his own inadequacy for this lightly autobiographical comedy merging the tender with the awkward.
Benjamin (Colin Morgan) has a film to promote, glory to seek and someone to fixate on, in the shape of Noah (Phénix Brossard), a big change from his usual choice of man who is "weak and well-lit."
Their stop-start love is the heart of a work that delights, thanks to Morgan's ability to alchemise insecurity into something more likeable, and Amstell's growing confidence in transcribing the deeper feelings behind the laughs. [BFI]
