Review of Ekaj (2015) by Maritza S — 02 May 2018

Ekaj reminds me of John Cassavetes style of filmmaking, the emotion; you can feel the loneliness of the main character. The approach of Cati Gonzalez, the director and cinematographer, of focusing on people, the relationship is what is important, like in Cassavetes films. The intimate connection with the actors, it feels like a slice of life, natural, authentic. There's fearlessness in taking the time to tell a story.

Absolutely recommend it!
