Benjamin

About This Movie

So, ‘Benjamin’ is this intimate drama that dives into the complexities of love and identity through the lens of two men. One's a monk, which adds an interesting layer of conflict—like, how do you reconcile your faith with your feelings? Their relationship unfolds in a really quiet, reflective manner, almost meditative at times. The pacing is slow, allowing for moments of introspection that feel genuine but can also be a bit heavy. The themes of nature versus nurture when it comes to sexuality are explored, which makes it thought-provoking. The performances, especially from the leads, carry a weight that feels raw despite the understated approach. It’s not flashy, but there’s a certain honesty to it that sticks with you.
