I Want to Go Higher

About This Movie

I Want to Go Higher captures the messy transition to adulthood through a raw lens. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Thailand, we follow four male models whose retreat quickly descends into chaos. Instead of self-discovery, we get a lot of carefree nudity, scooter rides, and flirty antics. The documentary feels almost voyeuristic at times. You can sense these guys are trying to fill a void, yet their attempts feel empty, which is where the film's strength lies. It's unpolished but real, showcasing a modern take on youth culture with an undercurrent of existential angst. Definitely not your conventional doc, but it lingers long after the credits roll.
