“The film that has the most complete narrative trajectory is Stand Still, about a woman overwhelmed with postnatal depression. Help comes to the middle-class doctor just at the right time, and what follows in Isabella Wing-Davey’s film feels tender and raw. Zoë Tapper and Michelle Bonnard, who also wrote the film, give extraordinarily compassionate performances here.
These six films are all confidently made, and if this is the future of British film then we are in good hands. Together these directors, and their creatives, should be able to represent a modern, inclusive Britain.”
