Rite of Passage

Rite of Passage is a deeply personal, poetic and political film inspired by Patrick Keiller that blends the essayistic and first-person film modes to create a non-fiction transposition of Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Charlie's journey to and perambulation of Gatwick resembles a 'psychogeographic' interrogation of the airport within the landscape as the site of two G4S-run Immigration Removal Centres. Avoiding unhelpful media representations of undocumented migrants that further subjugates their social status as 'other' to the white westerner, the metaphorical journey within Rite of Passage deftly reverses subjective representation, placing the semi-fictional protagonist, son of a former high-ranking G4S exec, within the mindset of the detainee awaiting deportation.

Well done and played. Not many movies are done this well.

Enjoyable throughout! Would watch again!

Didn't really care about the weak plot and tropes. Good visuals and you'll probably enjoy it if you like Documentary.

Fantastic movie with a great cast!

An absolutely overall amazing film that must be watched by everyone!

Firstly, the cast. They are all excellent and experienced actors and actresses and they did their job on the level that it should be done ! Starting with Luke Williams. His acting ability is great and he made 100% effort to role. Certainly one of his best roles. Kristina Anne Howell, who is absolutely amazing and most likely one of the best actors in Hollywood! This beautiful movie is made for everyone!

I just came back from seeing this movie, twice! Yes, it is that good. The highlight in this film was definitely Luke Williams and Kristina Anne Howell. Luke Williams gave such a convincing and emotional performance in a character who is so sensitive. Kristina Anne Howell was really good at bringing to life such a character. I was really amazed at how good he was playing

All of the actors are fantastic too, Luke Williams is the stand out here. Yes, this is probably due to the fact he is the star and given all of the emotional weight

Incredibly well crafted, acted, and produced. No disappointments here.

This movie blew me away; however not the first time I saw it, I had to watch it twice to truly appreciate the message and the power of this film. Maybe I wasn't fully paying attention or maybe I was too young at the time but I am so glad that I watched it again.

Highly enjoyed this movie! Would recommend to everyone.
