"All the films showed real charm, innovation and a fresh take on love and relationships but “Pillow Talk” truly stood out as a brilliant slice of relationship life, depicting the moments between all the good stuff, the gristle that we all have to chew on in the quiet, lonely moments in the middle of the night. Wonderfully subtle performances and terrific writing,” said the jury.
