It's been a long, hard winter, and lonely inventor Brian feels more isolated than ever. Living alone in a rural Welsh village, he spends his time building odd contraptions that have little use. He decides to put an end to his loneliness with his most ambitious invention yet: a robot named Charles.
Screen Daily by Amber Wilkinson
Comedy is a serious business and it is Earl and Hayward’s deadpan delivery, coupled with Archer’s maintenance of a documentary shooting style in the face of the ridiculous, that ensures the situation generates physical and verbal laughs.
An endlessly charming, funny, and delightfully lo-fi British comedy.
The Film Stage by Michael Frank
Brian and Charles didn’t need to be a feature. It could have continued to peacefully and joyfully exist as a short, and its material stretches the story thin as a sheet in this extended form. But the charm and fun of its story outweighs a scrawny narrative.
The warmth and tenderness with which the film explores the relationship between Brian and his creation are real.
