Hate

About This Movie

Hate (2020) dives deep into the murky waters of despair and violence, following Humza as he wrestles with his past. The tone feels heavy, almost suffocating at times, which really amplifies the sense of entrapment in a world that seems devoid of hope. It's gritty, underscored by a rawness that keeps you anchored in the reality of his struggles. The pacing has a deliberate slowness that lets the weight of the narrative sink in, making every moment feel significant. The performances are quite striking, capturing the essence of a life shadowed by violence and hatred. What stands out here is the stark portrayal of an overarching societal malaise, a real commentary on the cycles of hate that can feel so pervasive.

Hate has had a limited release, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. There’s a certain appeal in its underground vibe, and while not widely anticipated, it has sparked interest among those who appreciate films tackling challenging themes. With no major distribution backing, physical formats remain scarce, and those who come across it often find themselves drawn to its raw storytelling and unfiltered style.
