Hyper T @RT86510521 2d In an industry oversaturated with more spectacle than story, Gaijin (2026) stands in refreshing contrast. Lewis, at once hero and antagonist, flees from his grief and grapples with unmet desire, rage, and a thirst for purpose. The central conflict hinges between Lewis and the ghost of his twin, Ezekiel, and dialogue between them somehow sidesteps being trite. The film is visually vast—spanning Japanese sea cliffs, subways, baseball stadiums, and Zimbabwean sunsets—but still manages to breathe in moments of vulnerability. Dialogue is earnest, snappy, and painfully human. Gaijin is funny and true, and doesn’t pull its punches. I was laughing and in tears.

It’s been years since I’ve seen a movie that made me think about it the next day. I just kept going over the weight of the promises we make and how important it is to fulfill them. Gajin reminded me how much I love indie movies, and now want to rewatch a bunch of old ones from the 90s. Gajin is the opposite of all the meh movies and cookie cutter 8-episode series that have been crowding our queues and DVRs. It’s raw, moving, and hopeful. I saw it twice already and now you should too. See more Read all reviews
