Benjamin (II) (2018)
I've been a big fan of Simon Amstells for a long, but if this drivel is the best he's got, i hope he sticks to stand up and leaves movies alone

I'm sat here trying to think of anything i liked about this movie. I guess the cat was cute? Cliched on so many levels and littered with unlikable hipster knobs. One or two belly laughs, and one or two really uncomfortable moments. The whole thing is laced with self-obsessed millennial misery. You wouldn't want to spend any time with any of these people. It wants to be tender and deep, but it's just empty cliche after cliche scored with a grating soft melancholic piano. If you want to see a movie about someone struggling to be open to love, watch 'Gods Own Country'. I've been a big fan of Simon Amstells for a long, but if this drivel is the best he's got, i hope he sticks to stand up and leaves movies alone.
