The Interrogation of Olivia Donovan (2016) User Reviews

Compelling crime drama

[davegrain · 10/10 · 30 November 2020]

Fantastic short film from up and coming film makers. With a longer run time to explore the themes and narrative, could end up a gripping TV series. If you like British crime drama, this is for you.

Gripping and tense

[kdaly-62251 · 9/10 · 25 November 2020]

Really enjoyed this short and was willing it to last longer. Keeps you locked in right to the end and a combination of excellent writing, super shots and well balanced acting made this a real hidden gem.

Incredibly tense, gripping and suspenseful. I cannot recommend enough.

Incredibly tense, gripping and suspenseful. I cannot recommend enough. This film has stuck with me since I saw it at Manchester Film Festival.

Even though this drama is only 20 mins long, the twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat. The subject matter is disturbing, emotional and thought provoking.

Extremely well written, acted and directed. Would love to see more.

Well crafted, thought provoking short!

I saw this film at a few big film festivals and it's stuck with me. Everything about the cast, production value, story, sound, cinematography were fantastic. A must see!

Love to see more of this

Mistook this short for the latest TV drama series, gutted to find it was just a teaser for something bigger. Yet another short that just has to be taken to the next level. Really got the sense that each character had so much more going on so would love to see more!

Tense and very well made

Well written and acted with excellent direction. Palpable sense of tension throughout .Quality work by the writer /director. This would surpass most drama you would see on mainstream tv. Highly recommend.

Very impressive

[seancollins-66988 · 9/10 · 22 November 2020]

There's a great sense of tension and foreboding running through this short. The disturbing subject matter is handled deftly, while the taut dialogue really helps build an atmosphere of suspense. An excellent performance in particular from Eva Pope. The director has clearly marshalled his resources and I'd like to see more work like this.
