MEGALOMANIA

PRESS

Megalomania deserves praise and exposure.
Tim Robey, Film Critic

Have I ever told you the definition of insanity? Director, Rex Russell, in his latest project Megalomania (2021) seeks to answer just that in a tragic comedy who’s dark humour combined with its classical aesthetic is nothing short of addicting. 
From, “Megalomania: A maniac’s paradise” Joey Morris, Overtime Online

Megalomania is a unique and creative film which will keep you bewildered right until the very end.
Spencer Hawken, Romford Film Festival Director
