Reviews of the original Magic Hour, now available on DVD from 104 films...

“This pormanteau of short films by four disabled directors is proficient and pertinent, a laudable achievement that deserves the widest possible audience” David Parkinson, Empire

“A daring and thought-provoking, touching entertaining and wholly original undertaking. It highlights the humanitarian potential of the cinema” James Cameron Wilson, Film Review

“There are moments of brilliance in this portmanteau by five disabled directors. Buttermouth is ingenious” Kevin Maher, The Times

“Buttermouth, directed by Andrew Gibbs, is a poetic and melancholy evocation of blindness” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“Paraphernalia is probably the stand-out, due to an engaging performance by young Elijah Muhammad, some terrific animation effects on his rubbish robot friend and a neat twist at the end” Matthew Turner, View London

“Vivid and diverting” Edward Porter, The Sunday Times
