Exorcisms and Other Supplications

About This Movie

So, 'Exorcisms and Other Supplications' is this fascinating blend of ballroom culture and ancestral rituals, all wrapped in a fantasy aesthetic. The film’s atmosphere is rich, almost intoxicating, with visuals that feel both contemporary and rooted in tradition. The pacing ebbs and flows like a ritualistic performance, drawing you in and then releasing you. It’s all about community, identity, and the intersections of queer Black experiences. The practical effects, while not overwhelming, add a layer of authenticity to the supernatural elements. You really get the sense that this coven is not just performing but channeling something deeper. And the performances? They bring a realness that makes the fantastical elements feel grounded. Unique vibes all around.
