I Am

About This Movie

So, 'I Am' kind of weaves this delicate tapestry of humor and heart. You've got Ethan, who is just a brilliantly awkward college student, but then, as a drag queen, he’s all about glitz and confidence. The contrast is stark and really sets the tone for this charming narrative. There's this push and pull between his two identities, especially when Kekoa enters the picture, challenging Ethan in ways he didn't see coming. The performances are something to note—there’s a rawness that feels genuine. And the pacing? It’s a bit brisk but in a way that keeps you engaged. The themes of self-acceptance and the fear of change feel relatable, and I think it’s the practicality of the drag scenes that truly stands out, making it feel grounded despite the glam.
