“A delicious cocktail of glam costumes, eccentric characters and hilarious one-liners. This is a gem of a movie and a welcome treat.” **** Vishaka Read, Company “For its overall joie-de-vivre and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Sir John Mills snorting cocaine, Bright Young Things is strongly recommended.” *** GQ “ A delightful whirl of a movie that fizzes with energy and poignancy. Look out for sparkling cameos from Brit flick stalwarts.” Natasha Poliszczuk, InStyle “Fabulously funny and entertaining.” **** Micheal Bonner, Uncut “The renaissance man of British entertainment, Fry has captured all the anxious, frazzled spirit of Evelyn Waugh’s novel Vile Bodies in an exuberant directorial debut. A polished affair, this star-studded social satire will appeal to the same sophisticated audience who journeyed to the cinema for Gosford Park. Breathless, fast paced and very funny.” Allan Hunter, Screen International “A glittering cast…. slick, excellent.” Derek Elly, Variety “ A smooth-moving satire. It’s bright, cheerful and bloody good fun.” ***Jane Howdle, Empire “ A beautiful period drama, with a twist.” ***** Cosmopolitan "The performances are uniformly splendid" "Stephen Campbell-Moore is excellent" Jonathan Ross, Film 2003 ‘’ Divine… Fry’s dialogue is terrific and interlaces with Waugh’s own wit seamlessly.

All-star cast.’’ **** Daily Express, Allan Hunter ‘’ Glittering satire…’’ *** Jane Simon, The People ‘’ He keeps every scene brimming with colour, energy, and panache.
