The Long Goodbye

About This Movie

The Long Goodbye (2020) is this raw short that dives into the heavy themes of racism and Islamophobia in the UK. It captures a very tense atmosphere, making you really feel the weight of the issues it tackles. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the discomfort of the characters’ experiences. The performances are quite striking, particularly how they convey the subtleties of everyday prejudice. It’s not flashy in terms of effects, but the practical choices really ground the story. What stands out is its unflinching honesty and the way it sheds light on societal challenges often brushed aside. It’s a piece that lingers, definitely makes you think.
