I'm Going to Change My Name is a contemplative dive into the life of a 14-year-old girl named Evridika, navigating the tumultuous waters of adolescence. The film unfolds like a slow-burning piece of poetry, echoing the structure of the Armenian 'Sharakan' through its nine chapters. It really captures that feeling of confusion and yearning, which is palpable in every scene. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of longing, almost dreamlike at times. Maria Saakyan's direction, while understated, allows the performances to shine, particularly from the lead. You get a real sense of Evridika's internal struggles. The pacing can feel deliberate, but it perfectly complements the film's themes of identity and transformation.
