PRESS
“The film is fantastic. Remarkably compressed, beautifully observed, and very well acted (especially by Ellie James). The writing is fully convincing. The whole thing left me wanting more (in a good way)!”
Arjun Sajip, film journalist (previously, Reviews Editor Sight & Sound)
"We found Better to be poignant and beautifully executed. We loved the use of perspective, as it invited the viewer to consider their own prejudices and biases on the issues. The performances were powerful and the filmmaking across all departments was fantastic.'"
Lillian Crawford, film critic (on behalf of EFN jury)
