DEPARTURES

Directed by Neil Ely and 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 trips to Amsterdam entwined with intimacy, revealing complex power dynamics. Reminiscent of the non-stop, 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
