About This Movie

As I Am is a fascinating blend of drama and fantasy, exploring deep themes of identity and the weight of the past. Anthony Bawn’s direction lends a contemplative tone to the narrative, with a pacing that allows for reflection rather than rush. The protagonist's journey back to confront his childhood is portrayed with raw honesty, showcasing the duality of suppression and acceptance. The practical effects used to illustrate his internal struggles are quite striking, adding a visceral quality to the dreamlike sequences. Performances are heartfelt, with a palpable sense of vulnerability that resonates. There's something distinctly personal about this film; it feels like peeling back layers rather than just watching a story unfold, and that's what sets it apart.
