About This Movie

I Am (2019) offers a unique perspective on crime with its animation style. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of a gun, which is a striking choice that brings an unsettling yet fascinating lens to an otherwise familiar genre. The pacing feels intentional, giving ample time to explore the psychological aspects of its characters. Mya’s struggle to reach Blacka is both tense and poignant; there’s a duality in their connection that’s intriguing, almost tragic. The visual aesthetic complements the heavier themes of attraction and violence, creating a haunting atmosphere. The practical effects, while not the focus, add a layer of realism that enhances the storytelling. It’s a distinctive piece that challenges conventional narratives in animation.
