Brian and Charles follows Brian, a lonely inventor in rural Wales, who spends his days building quirky, unconventional contraptions that seldom work. Undeterred by his lack of success, Brian attempts his biggest project yet. Three days, a washing machine, and various spare parts later, he’s invented Charles, an artificially intelligent robot who learns English from a dictionary and has an obsession with cabbages. What follows is a humorous and entirely heartwarming story about friendship, family, finding love, and letting go.

"A delight."
— Esther Zuckerman, Thrillist

"An endlessly charming, funny, and delightfully lo-fi British comedy."
— Ethan Anderton, Slashfilm

"The warmth and tenderness with which the film explores the relationship between Brian and his creation are real."
— Oli Welsh, Polygon

"Here’s some Frankenstein and some Wallace and Gromit and some that is entirely Brian and Charles’s own; the mockumentary-style comedy, directed by Jim Archer, is sweet, funny, weird, and heartwarming."
— Alissa Wilkinson, Vox

"Comedy is a serious business and it is Earl and Hayward’s deadpan delivery, coupled with Archer’s maintenance of a documentary shooting style in the face of the ridiculous, that ensures the situation generates physical and verbal laughs."
— Amber Wilkinson, Screen Daily
