Edges

About This Movie

Edges is one of those films that sits in a contemplative space, balancing the rawness of personal struggle with a gentle observation of Paolo's life. The pacing is deliberate but engaging, allowing you to really sink into his insecurities and the weight of expectations from both his mother and his hometown of Lanciano. The documentary feels intimate, almost like peeking into a diary, as it explores themes of identity, emancipation, and the complex dynamics of familial relationships. There's a certain authenticity in the way Paolo's journey unfolds, particularly his grappling with his sexuality, which feels refreshingly unfiltered. Not to mention the subtle yet effective practical effects that enhance the storytelling without overshadowing the emotional core.
