Reviews of Large

"Marrying the punky raw energy of ‘Human Traffic' with the rudeness of ‘There's Something About Mary', ‘Large' is hysterical" Variety

"From its brashly garish colours to cartoon character acting, it doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is. Which fortunately happens to be a largin' it dose of fun with a Brummie accent and a loada laughs" Whats On

"Large's impressive comic energy extracts big belly laughs from it's target audience" Sight and Sound



Reviews of Round

"An exploration of the existential loneliness of a Birmingham security guard, Justin Edgar's Round is well worth seeking out" Wendy Ide, The Times

"A whimsical, visually inventive short about a security guard who falls in love with the new cleaning lady" Geoff Andrew, Time Out

"A one-off showing at the Midland arts centre tonight provides the Birmingham premiere for a short that has already earned praise on the festival circuit. Following up his full length debut Large (itself having grown out of an award-winning short), Justin Edgar maintains a shapely titular theme with Round, a three handed romantic comedy set in the Rotunda with Dominic Coleman as a security guard into expanding his vocabulary, Simon Lowe as his less cultured colleague and Jo Enright as the cleaning lady who ignites love at first sight but doesn't share his anoraky passion for flying kites. Droll and deadpan as opposed to the rather more cartoonish humour of Large, it also marks a distinct progression for Edgar's directing style, often, as in the closing image of two red balloons, demonstrating a touching poetic lyricism" Mike Davies, Whats On



Reviews of 03 and Me

"Pick of the Day Channel 4's early evening 'slot' can often muster up more innovation in five minutes than some programmes manage in half and hour. This week's is no exception, as the channel marks the launch of the European Year of Disabled People with an insightful, sweetly shot series of contemplation's from a model, athlete, actor, singer, student and entrepreneur whose disabilities vary as much as their takes on life" Sunday Telegraph
