      Ela Bittencourt Frieze Williams sympathizes with his protagonists, though his film is too fluid and keen on catching the quirkiness of everyday speech and capturing languid moods to act as agitprop. Aug 8, 2018 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) There are two bravura shots in The Human Surge... Otherwise, well, it's tough going. Rated: 2/5 Jul 11, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Williams's bewildering, sinuous film encourages us to realise that getting lost is a destination in itself. Rated: 4/5 Jul 9, 2017 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine This is a wholly original work, and that’s worth more than any notion of success or failure. I’d argue it’s super pleasurable as well, but your mileage may vary; definitely check out Could See a Puma first. Jan 12, 2023 Full Review Alonso Díaz de la Vega El Universal William's perspective itself could be enough to stimulate the audience, but his camera and composition add an impressive cinematographic vocabulary to it. [Full Review in Spanish] May 23, 2019 Full Review Tara Judah Desist Film The Human Surge was difficult to engage with; the handheld camera work is shaky and unfocused, the POV ventures into naturally (read poorly) lit spaces and Williams completely refuses to construct seamless linear progression...
