The Hermits

About This Movie

So, 'The Hermits' is this fascinating documentary from Daniela Uribe. It captures the lives of eight bachelor millennials in Mexico City, living in this historic Ermita Building. The vibe is very intimate and raw—these guys let you into their tiny apartments, which is both a peek into their everyday lives and a reflection of their struggles and dreams. There's this undertone of precarity that resonates throughout, like how each character deals with the chaos around them. The pacing is almost meditative, allowing you to really sit with their stories. The performances feel genuine, not forced at all, and you get a real sense of the community they’ve formed. It’s pretty distinctive in how it blends personal narrative with broader social themes, really a slice of life in a city on the brink of change.
