I'm Afraid of Planes

About This Movie

I'm Afraid of Planes is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the filmmaker's personal phobia of flying, framed through this unique lens of anxiety. The tone is introspective, almost confessional at times, as it weaves through his experiences living near an airport—like a constant reminder of his fears. The pacing feels a bit meandering, which might not sit well with everyone, but it adds to the authenticity of the struggle. There’s a rawness to the practical effects; it's almost entirely grounded in the filmmaker's own reflections. The atmosphere is thick with unease, yet there's an odd comfort in his vulnerability. It’s distinct if you appreciate cinema that’s rooted in personal narrative, even if it doesn't follow conventional storytelling.
