moviedude2019 added their review for Ekaj: Ekaj is a raw, authentic story about two gay youths surviving and hustling on the streets of New York. The film reminds one of Kids, Tangerine, and Midnight Cowboy in various ways. Technically, the film is raw and unfiltered, not unlike in Tangerine, but it suits the film well as we feel like a fly on the wall, intimately observing the proceedings as if we are right there with the two leads, Ekaj and Mecca. Overall, it almost feels like a documentary that is hands off and lets us observe the actors behaving so naturally that it does feel like we are witnessing real people in their normal surroundings -- which is a testament to the performances of the two leads, as well as the director. Ekaj feels honest and authentic and I think that's a particularly valuable thing in today's cinema. I definitely recommend this movie.

moviedude2019 added their review for Purdah: Purdah is a great film. The documentary is a really inspiring and dramatic story of three sisters in India who have to take on a mountain of obstacles. The girls are really charismatic and you can't help but root for them. I found myself both laughing with them at times and then crying for them at other times. This movie has some very big surprises in it. I highly recommend seeing this film as it is a beautiful looking film that transports you to a place and people that I would never otherwise learn about. The documentary is particularly timely nowadays too, given all of the controversy over proposed Muslim bans and burka bans in some places. Purdah is a film for anyone who likes great documentaries, stories about strong willed women, or wants to learn more about different cultures. Watch it!
