“STILL is one of the most assured pieces of film I’ve seen in quite some time. Blake really knows how to use his widescreen canvas, effectively framing characters through objects in the foreground or making use of the sparseness and decay of buildings to memorable effect. He’s judicious with close ups, which makes them more impactful, a lesson most modern film makers need to learn. Keep an eye on this film maker as STILL promises great things ahead.”
THE CHICAGOIST
“This debut feature from writer-director Simon Blake shows great promise…. Intelligent insightful chamber drama……The devilish Aidan Gillen gives a sensitive performance….Amanda Mealing contributes a fine performance as the hero’s estranged wife, her scenes with Gillen are the movies high point”
