Plot summary

An endearing outlier, Brian lives alone in a Welsh valley, inventing oddball contraptions that seldom work. After finding a discarded mannequin head, Brian gets an idea. Three days, a washing machine, and sundry spare parts later, he’s invented Charles, an artificially intelligent robot who learns English from a dictionary and proves a charming, cheeky companion. Before long, however, Charles also develops autonomy. Intrigued by the wider world — or whatever lies beyond the cottage where Brian has hidden him away — Charles craves adventure.

Beautiful film...

Beautiful film.beautifully acted & shot, with a real heart warming story of love & friendship with the amazing David Earl as the inventor Brian & the fantastic robot he creates Charles... go see it & love it, don't listen to the negative comments by small minded people....

Lovely, original and heart warming.

Brian is alone and isolated, to overcome his loneliness, he builds a new robot, named Charles, like cake making he wanted a Victoria sponge, but instead got a blancmange.I'll be honest, I watched the first five minutes, and I wasn't convinced, ready to switch it off, however, I decided to stick with it, and I'm so glad I did, I really am, and only wish I'd saved it.Don't expect to learn much about why Brian has ended up in this situation, they don't actually go into it, all we get is what's on the surface, he's definitely a troubled Soul, the focus is more on his newly found sense of companionship, his unquestionable positivity.It's funny, it's sad, it's quirky, it's like nothing else I've ever seen before. No special effects, no heavy music, it's low budget, but there in lies the charm, it is rewardingly heart warming, it works on so many levels.I associate David Earl with two shows, two favourites of mine, Afterlife and Derek, you see just what a talented actor he is here, it's such a different, well measured performance, credit to him.Just lovely.8/10.
