I am Leo is this tender exploration of childhood framed against the backdrop of rural life. The film has a gentle pace, allowing moments to breathe, which really draws you into Leo's world as he navigates his feelings amid what his Grandma calls big news. The performances, especially from the young cast, feel lived-in and authentic—there's a real chemistry between Leo, Noémie, and Emil. Tajo Hurrle does a remarkable job of balancing the lightheartedness of childhood antics with the more profound themes of identity and family. You get this lush, atmospheric setting of meadows and woods that almost feels like a character itself. It’s a quiet film that resonates deeply, capturing those awkward, formative moments in life.
