About This Movie

So, 'My Name Is' dives into the raw, often messy emotions of childhood. It’s set in a school, which feels familiar yet distinctly layered. The pacing is deliberate, almost rhythmic, allowing the audience to linger in Nito's world. The atmosphere carries a weight—there's a palpable tension during the fights, contrasted by the quiet revelations in the nurse’s office. Nito and Shiori’s dynamic is intriguing, revealing secrets that cut deeper than physical injuries. The performances are earnest, capturing that awkwardness of youth. The film leans on practical effects to emphasize the emotional scars rather than flashy visuals. It’s a tender exploration of identity and the struggles of growing up, very much rooted in reality yet with a touch of poetic nuance.
