How I Became is an interesting exploration of identity and aspiration set against the backdrop of bustling downtown Moscow. The film dives into the life of Sasha, a young man wrestling with his privileged upbringing while yearning for deeper meaning. He is surrounded by the weight of his father's expectations, and the film captures that tension quite well. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of introspection amidst the chaos of urban life. Then there's Masha, this complex woman who enters Sasha's world and challenges him in ways he never anticipated. The performances are raw and genuine, with a subtlety that really draws you into their emotional landscapes. It’s a film that lingers, echoing the struggles of finding oneself amidst societal pressures.
