A Royal Hangover | Full Documentary
1,663A Royal Hangover is a feature-length documentary on the UK’s ambivalent alcohol culture, featuring a stellar cast led by former alcohol addict Russell Brand.
After its Los Angeles premiere, A Royal Hangover was included in the ‘Top 10 Films to Watch’ at the Academy Award qualifying Cleveland International Film Festival, where it was nominated in the Global Health competition. Following a successful international festival run playing alongside the works of Mark Whalberg, Robin Williams & Philip Seymour Hoffman, the film has seen broadcasts and theatrical screenings in the UK, USA, Australia, Asia, Africa & Russia.
“I'm now making A Royal Hangover available for all to watch online for free. I’m incredibly proud of all it has achieved since its release in 2015. But in my eyes, the most profound success comes in the form of messages I've received from people who have come away from the film with a deeper understanding of addiction, from the people who have found it re-enforced their own sobriety, or empowered or inspired them in some way to make positive changes in their lives and habits. The film was also a vehicle for myself, as someone who neither drinks nor sees the appeal of drinking, to better understand the grasp alcohol appeared to have on many of those around me, and the way in which alcohol permeates so many aspects of our culture.” - Arthur Cauty
“It really is the only film about drinking worth watching” - Huffington Post
"This is a spectacularly exceptional film, an unflinching documentary. It is sad, poignant and brave." - A Hangover-Free Life
“A documentary that should be widely screened and its makers applauded." - Soberistas
