About This Movie
Exarch is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the struggles of a young Orthodox priest who grows disillusioned with the intolerance he sees in the Kyiv Pechery Lavra. The atmosphere is heavy, almost palpable at times, as he shifts from the rigidity of his church to embracing a new community: the LGBTQ+ crowd, including those living with HIV/AIDS. It’s not your typical documentary; it’s raw and personal, capturing the priest's journey with an earnestness that resonates. The pacing unfolds steadily, allowing viewers to reflect on the themes of faith, acceptance, and the complexities of identity. There’s no grandstanding or flashy effects here, just powerful performances that really draw you in and make you ponder the larger societal issues at play.
