As You Want Me

About This Movie

As You Want Me is this intriguing blend of comedy and drama set against the vibrant backdrop of Roma. The film's pacing feels almost languid at times, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the city and the complexities of its characters. Pasquale, a policeman, crosses paths with Desideria, a trans woman and an old acquaintance, which sparks a mix of nostalgia and tension. The performances are layered, particularly from Desideria, who embodies deep longing and vulnerability. Themes of identity and love unfold naturally, without heavy-handedness. The practical effects and settings are quite understated, yet they provide a genuine feel for the environment. It's distinct in how it navigates these relationships without resorting to cliché, giving viewers a slice of life that’s both poignant and humorous.
