The Mighty Boosh stars Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt reunite for Brakes, watch the trailer here

November 16, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

With a little over a week to go until its release, a poster and trailer have arrived online for writer-director Mercedes Grower’s feature debut Brakes. Described as an unconventional comedy, the film reunites The Mighty Boosh stars Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, alongside Paul McGann, Julia Davis, Kerry Fox, Roland Gift, Seb Cardinal and Steve Oram; take a look below…


Brakes is a raw, dark and unconventional comedy from new writer/director Mercedes Grower. Split into two halves it follows the tumultuous stories of nine couples, plunging straight into the brutal and absurd endings of their relationships first, before travelling back to the moments when the spark of love between them first emerged. Using London as their match-maker, each of their stories is unique yet familiar to us all.
