Aby Alex Abraham

Let’s talk about Daveed (2025). Man, this film is a wild ride from the jump. Aby Alex Abraham, the mind behind it all, doesn’t waste time tossing you straight into the thick of things—no dawdling, no hand-holding. You meet Daveed, who isn’t your cookie-cutter hero. He’s messy, rough around the edges, but, for some reason, you can’t look away. He’s got this knack for getting into trouble that feels almost… intentional? Maybe he’s running from something, maybe just bored out of his mind. The whole story unfolds in this close-knit town that isn’t as sleepy as it looks. Secrets bubble up everywhere. Daveed’s got a complicated thing going on with his family—love, resentment, a whole lot of baggage. And his friends? Well, let’s just say they’re not exactly saints, either. The script doesn’t shy away from sticky subjects: betrayal, loyalty, the urge to escape versus sticking around for the people who matter. Visually, the film’s got this gritty, lived-in vibe. You can almost smell the rain on old cobblestones and taste the cigarette smoke curling in the air. Every shot feels deliberate, like Abraham wants you to notice the tiny details—a chipped mug, an old photo taped to the fridge, a half-smile that says more than words ever could. By the end, you’re left wrestling with questions. What would you do if you were Daveed? Stay and fight, or bolt for freedom? There’s no neat answer, which honestly makes the whole thing stick in your head long after the credits roll.
