Ali & Ava

Ali & Ava presents a really sensitive and engaging love story in a way that I've rarely seen.

It feels so real, with the characters written and performed to perfection. Adeel Akhtar and Claire Rushbrook are spectacular, both giving sensitive and engaging performances.

It is a very British film in every way, from the location to the dialogue and it captures this in such a brilliant way.

The direction is arty and crisp, with good pacing throughout.

My only real criticism is that the ending lacked a bit of a punch and fizzled out every so slightly, but this is very minor.

A very lovely and sensitive film.
