Killing Lazarus

Killing Lazarus is a poignant drama that explores many topics. The film covers drugs and violence but also spirituality, mental health, and friendship. Killing Lazarus is a timely and relevant movie that has the spirit of a more modern and nuanced Menace to Society or Dead Presidents. Killing Lazarus reveals the reality behind groups that are too often reduced to easy one dimensional stories of criminality in most films and beyond.

Killing Lazarus is produced by Issa Rae of HBO's Insecure, who obviously saw the value of this project and helped bring it to the screen. The project is skillfully written and directed by Desmond Faison. The cinematography by Will Novy is quite beautiful.

If you're looking for a timely and complex film, I would highly recommend watching Killing Lazarus.
