DEPARTURES
Directed by Neil Ely, Lloyd Eyre-Morgan | 2025 | 96 min | United Kingdom
Starring Lloyd Eyre-Morgan, David Tag, Liam Boyle
This knockout feature directorial debut for co-directors Neil Ely and Lloyd Eyre-Morgan begins when Benji and Jake meet at an airport gate, immediately sensing attraction. Their relationship unfolds through Amsterdam trips woven in intimacy, revealing complex power dynamics. Reminiscent of the nonstop, balls-to-the-wall early films of Danny Boyle (in particular, Trainspotting), DEPARTURES is one of the brashest debut features in ages.
"Critics Pick! This tragicomedy from Lloyd Eyre-Morgan and Neil Ely balances a mordantly funny deconstruction of romance with the harsher realities of gay life." –NY Times
Content Advisory: Nudity, sexual content. Recommended for audiences 16+.
