Reviews
“Few films successfully negotiate the tricky expansion from short to feature but Special People is a happy exception. Justin Edgar’s adaptation of his 12 minute 2005 short builds on the original material without diluting any of its sharp humour and also provides a deeper sense of the characters and their lives.” Allan Hunter, Screen International
“A well observed and likeable slice of DIY cinema.” Tom Huddleston, Time Out (London)
“Engaging, nicely acted and sharply written comedy that imparts an important message while delivering several good laughs.” Matthew Turner, View London
