If I Only Had a Name

About This Movie

If I Only Had a Name is quite an interesting piece from 2021, even if the director remains under the radar. The film takes a unique approach to exploring identity through the lens of a struggling actor, Miguel, who wrestles with his typecasting. The mix of song and dance adds a whimsical touch amidst the serious undertones of self-worth and aspiration. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to really soak in the emotional weight of each audition scene. It’s a distinctive take on the Hollywood dream, not just about fame, but about being seen for who you are – or could be. The performances have a raw authenticity that keeps you invested in Miguel's journey.

This film has become somewhat of a curiosity for collectors, primarily due to its limited release and the mystery surrounding its director. There haven't been many physical formats made available, adding to its allure. The scarcity of information and debate about its themes keeps collectors on their toes, making it a topic of discussion among niche film aficionados.
