Price of Love

About This Movie

Price of Love has this raw, gritty feel that really captures the pulse of Addis Ababa. The pacing is a bit languid at times, but that gives you space to soak in the atmosphere and the weight of the character's struggles. The taxi driver, caught between his job and a turbulent relationship with a prostitute, is just a fascinating lens into the complexity of love and desperation. It doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects, which makes it stand out from typical romance dramas. The performances are earnest, maybe even a bit rough around the edges, but it adds to the authenticity. And those practical effects? They really ground the story in reality, which enhances the emotional stakes.
