I'm Fine

About This Movie

I'm Fine (2022) dives into the heavy waters of a Royal marine's return to civilian life. The tone is somber, reflective, almost suffocating at times, as John spends time in a Dartmoor cottage, trying to piece his life back together. The atmosphere is thick with both isolation and haunting memories, which are effectively portrayed through practical effects that evoke his PTSD. Pacing is deliberate, allowing a slow burn that mirrors John's inner turmoil. Performances are raw, especially the lead, capturing the nuance of someone battling both external and internal demons. What stands out is how it doesn't shy away from the reality of trauma, showing the struggle without dramatizing for effect. A solid exploration of healing and the scars that come with service.
