A return to excellence in indie filmmaking and a lesson in perseverance

I've seen this film twice now (once on the festival circuit and then in person in LA at a screening) and I loved it even more the second time I saw it (if that's even possible). Everything about this film: from the acting, to the writing, to the cinematography, to the determination of the filmmakers to get it made and out into the world is a triumph of independent filmmaking. It's so hard to make a movie and even more so to make one that stars authentically cast actors but this film does it and does it exceptionally well. If you want to support authentic storytelling and indie filmmaking, please check out this film. Everything in Hollywood is based on sequels and big set pieces but this movie is like a throwback to that wonderful time in the late 1990s and early 2000s where films were centered on characters and their stories. It's like the film's tagline: fall down seven times, get up eight. Maybe the success of this film can help encourage others to make films like this and demonstrate an audience for this kind of storytelling. Well done to everyone involved.

Clearly worth the watch!

Don't miss this authentic movie. It's a refreshing change from others in the same genre - the cast is real, the story is touching, and the ending worked for me! It's nice to watch something so well made and that doesn't leave you wishing you had rented or bought something else instead. It's long enough to be an evening, but not overly so, and the scenery is great. I especially liked the scenes with the (very) young child, being a sentimental person myself. Touching but not cloying. I found myself alternating between disliking the main characters and really liking them alot! A milestone, breaking the stereotypes movie!

This isn't a story about disability: it's a story about forgiveness, friendship and fatherhood.

Daruma is a triumph of authentic storytelling. As a disabled woman, it's rare to see characters who reflect not just my experiences but my complexities, dreams, and flaws (and desires!!!!). This isn't a story about disability-it's a story about friendship, resilience, and confronting life's messy moments. The bond between Patrick and Robert is deeply human and emotionally raw, capturing the frustrations, humor, and beauty of their journey. Watching this film felt like being truly seen, not for my disability, but for the person I am beyond it. The performances are nuanced and magnetic, drawing you into a narrative that's as relatable as it is moving. Daruma doesn't preach; it connects. It's a film I'll carry with me, grateful for the way it made me laugh, cry, and, most importantly, feel seen.
