The Take
Ashens and the Quest of the Game Child is worth watching. Stuart Ashen's deadpan narration carries a scrappy quest for the ultimate piece of handheld tat without any Hollywood gloss or forced messages.
The Verdict
This is niche British YouTube energy turned feature-length without losing the charm. Ashen plays himself hunting the Game Child with old friends and cameos that feel earned rather than tacked on.
Watch it.
