“Mousie is SUCH a beautiful film… Original, heart-breaking - yet also uplifting. It’s so relevant and provocative too. Amid really atmospheric cinematography and production design, David Bartlett’s exquisite direction has delivered the most arresting performances, led by a remarkable young child. Mousie is unmissable”

DEREK JACOBI

“Mousie is a shatteringly beautiful and awakening film. A story of belonging, survival, dreams and nightmares. Little mousie is the heart that keeps beating. I loved it. Jack Arnold’s score is breathtaking… Watch Mousie! It’s a little gem.”

JESSIE BUCKLEY

“It would be nearly impossible to escape the timeliness and relevance of writer/director David Bartlett's impossibly beautiful and thought-provoking short film Mousie… A beautiful and memorable short film that calls us to scrutinize the world in which we live while just as fervently reminding us to celebrate those who care, those who fight for change, and the creative spirits who continue to foster hope in a world that can so easily feel exhausting and hopeless… I could watch Mousie again and again…” 

RICHARD PROPES, Independent critic

“Writer Director David Bartlett has crafted a small gem that illuminates the horrors of oppression and a transcendentallyartful response to it through these shining, multifaceted performances, pristine production values and meticulous direction.

A potent distillation of whimsy and realism, hauntingly relevant now.”
