Missing a Note

This beautiful film took my breath away and will stay with me forever. It focuses on the heart breaking impacts of dementia but at the same time is uplifting thanks to a great performance by young Darcy. The director, Beth Moran, did an outstanding job and I could watch it over and over again.

Absolutely loved this film which, in such a short time, evoked happiness, sadness, empathy, amusement... and left me contemplating its powerful message for some time. Charmingly presented and really very well worth watching. Congratulations to the director, astonishing that it was her debut.

A beautiful short film on an important subject that's hardly shown in the cinema. Wonderfully shot with a stellar cast.

I went to watch Downton abbey and this gem of a short film was played before hand. The film is raising awareness of dementia and there is not a bad performance in sight. A captivating little story with a wonderful cast.

Beth Moran delivers a beautiful, emotional, and delicate short film, exploring the reality of living with the early stages of dementia, featuring Darcy Jacobs, Elaine Paige and Ian McElhinney. Beth's debut short film is a 15 minute rollercoaster of emotion.

With stellar performances from both Elaine Paige and Ian McElhinney, the surprising highlight of the film is the young 12 year old actress, Darcy Jacobs (deserved winner of Best Actress at Birmingham International Film Festival 2019 for her part in this movie).

Known for her West End roles in the The Ferryman and Les Miserables, Darcy delivers a stunning performance as a young music pupil hoping to fulfill her dreams of a scholarship. With her beautiful singing voice and the incredibly natural feel she gives to her presentation of the character, she truly shines in this wonderful short film! I'm confident that we can expect great things from this young actress in her future career.

Well worth a watch 10/10!
