David

As the son of the Imam of the local Brooklyn mosque, eleven year-old Daud has to juggle the high expectations of his Father and his feelings of isolation and difference. A genuine friendship grows between Daud and Yoav, one of the Jewish boys, and his family. David, as he is known to the kids, is drawn into a complicated dilemma inspired by youthful deceit and the best of intentions.

My take

A intimate portrait of a man grappling with identity and desire, David unfolds with raw vulnerability and contemplative intensity. This is cinema for those comfortable sitting with discomfort, exploring the messy interior lives we rarely discuss openly.
