Hakim offers a poignant look at the life of a child grappling with loss from the very beginning. The film's atmosphere is heavy, yet it carries a sense of resilience. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which allows you to sink into the emotional weight of Hakim's journey. Themes of abandonment and hope are woven throughout, contrasting the grim realities faced by AIDS orphans. The performances, though understated, convey a profound depth—especially the old man who takes Hakim in. It’s not flashy, but rather relies on practical effects to evoke authenticity.
