Edinburgh International Film Festival 2016 Brakes ***

[tweet_box design=”default”]Mercedes Grower’s Brakes is a montage of the ends and beginnings of a set of diverse relationships.[/tweet_box]  She herself plays Layla who becomes pregnant by Noel Fielding’s Daniel.

Other notable appearances are by Julia Davis, Kerry Fox, Peter Wight and Paul McCann.  Many of the film locations are unusual lofts and apartments high above London.  Height and light seem to feature frequently.

While it is an interesting and unusual concept, for this reviewer it does not quite work and that it leaves its viewers unsatisfied and a little cheated.
