Sundays

About This Movie

Sundays is a quietly powerful documentary that dives deep into the life of Tom Avramis, a Greek Orthodox priest who leaves the priesthood after three decades. The film has this intimate, almost voyeuristic quality, as it explores family dynamics and societal expectations. The pacing feels reflective, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of Tom's decision and its impact on those around him. What really struck me were the personal videos woven throughout, revealing his inner struggles and the burdens he's carried—it's raw and honest. The performances, especially from his daughter, bring an emotional depth that resonates long after the credits roll. There's a palpable sense of nostalgia and regret, making it a distinctive piece in the realm of personal documentaries.
