	Media	Author	Review
		Anna Smith Time Out	"Some scenes are so intimate you feel like you’re spying on someone (...) It is an unusual mix of intense, angsty character-driven drama and laugh-out-loud jokes about the film industry (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Funny, charming and overpoweringly personal (...) Amstell creates a detailed ecosystem of in-jokes from the worlds of media and film (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jenny Desborough Mirror	"The script is whip-smart, as expected, and Amstell makes sure every pretentious or schmaltzy moment is incredibly knowing (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Appealingly restrained and perfectly shaped at under 90 minutes, 'Benjamin' maintains its softly barbed wit and sweet-and-sour intimacy to the end"
