My Body

About This Movie

So, 'My Body' is a documentary that really immerses you in the lives of these two boys, Oscar and Stanley, who are navigating their realities in strikingly different ways. Oscar's scavenging for scrap metal amidst the debris of what's left behind creates this gritty, almost haunting atmosphere. The pacing feels natural, almost slow, but it captures the weight of their struggles beautifully. Then there's Stanley, tidying up the church and doing odd jobs; it paints a contrast of innocence and survival. The film doesn't over-dramatize but rather lets the viewer breathe in the rawness of their environments, showcasing the harshness and the resilience of youth. It’s distinct for how it captures these nuanced lives without embellishing them too much, just letting the moments speak.
