“Ruth Bradley gives a tour-de-force as a sex surrogate assigned to a man with a violent past in this superbly performed, tense psycho-sexual drama. Co-lead Christian Cooke also directs, and approaches his directorial debut with a maturity and sensitivity that a seasoned filmmaker would envy. Clearly an actor’s director, the nuance and physicality of the performances enhance the intelligent dialogue from writer, Dave Florez, while the starkness of locations acts as a blank page with which to create a story.” – Belfast Film Festival

“In his strikingly refreshing and nuanced tale, Christian Cooke successfully juggles the hats of co-writer, director, and co-lead in his feature debut, Embers. Cooke and Ruth Bradley pull off fantastic performances in this impressive film about sexual surrogacy therapy.” – The Upcoming ★★★★
