Review of Benjamin

Benjamin (II) (2018)
9/10
An endearingly offbeat gem
19 September 2022
"Benjamin" is a gem! This tale of a young filmmaker trying to get out of his own way to find his creative voice - and love - comes at you in its thoroughly unique, compassionate, and very funny way. Every moment and line is unexpected, yet all of the major moments happen without words.

Colin Morgan is wonderful in the title role. He is thoroughly believable as the insecure yet adorable oddball and you can't take your eyes off of him. Or help but care about him.

Phenix Brossard is quietly enchanting as the young musician who is the object of his affection, and the supporting cast are all endearing in a quirky yet totally real way.
