BRIGSBY BEAR

Cert 15

Digital today, disc April 16 This sweet-natured and uplifting comedy drama was one of the most enjoyably leftfield films of last year, despite touching on dark subjects of kidnap, abuse and mental illness.

Brigsby is an animatronic man-sized bear and the star of a long-running sci-fi TV show. When a 25-year-old super fan discovers there are no new episodes, he sets off to create his own.

Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, makes his presence felt, a fitting piece of casting in a movie which celebrates the obsessive nature of film geeks.
