Review of Ekaj

Ekaj (2015)
8/10
Cinema Verite! But with accent marks.
15 April 2019
Well, you've seen a lot of the terms "grim" and "realistic" being thrown around for this one and I wholeheartedly agree. Cinema verité through and through. Although not someone who typically takes a chance on independent queer cinema, I'm glad I did with this one. At times it can be rough to watch as people deal with poverty disease drugs etc , but that's definitely the point. To show you this type of life hasn't gone away just because it's not as chic as it was in the 90s.

Solid performances. And direction is perfectly raw for the subject. Great stuff.
