About This Movie

Cicada is a subtle yet impactful exploration of identity and connection. Directed by Kieran Mulcare, the film envelops you in a warm summer haze, where the chemistry between Ben and Sam feels both tender and tumultuous. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for those quiet moments that reveal deeper emotional scars. The performances are raw; you can really sense the layers of pain and hope each character carries. The film’s strength lies in its honest portrayal of bisexuality and the complexities of love, especially between two men navigating their vulnerabilities. The atmosphere is rich with a sense of place and time, capturing the essence of a transformative summer. It’s not flashy, but there’s an authenticity here that lingers long after the credits roll.
