Two Minutes is funny, expertly paced and tense yet light-hearted. There’s a superb cast at work, Annette Badland, Samuel Bottomley and Ashley Margolis make for a wonderful trio. Jamie Benyon’s writing and direction work perfectly in sync to give the story an edge of thrill without losing its comedy heart, making for a lovable, sweet and highly entertaining outing.

“At the centre of this film is a heist, and as they always inevitably do; they go wrong. But with it being the Nan that causes the wrong, it is a lovely turn of hand which takes a sinister moment and finds a bit of sweetness out of it”. (Festival Formula)

"...engaging short, funny and poignant" Jon Aird BAFTA Award-Winning Producer
