My Own

About This Movie

My Own (2021) is a short film that really dives into the complexities of identity, particularly within the confines of ballet, which can be so rigid. Bianca, the protagonist, embodies the struggle of nonbinary individuals trying to carve out a space in a world that often demands conformity. The atmosphere is introspective, with a pacing that allows you to really sit with Bianca's journey. The dance sequences are beautifully choreographed, serving as both expression and exploration of self. What stands out is how it captures that in-between feeling of gender fluidity, without pushing for a clear resolution. The performances, especially from the lead, are raw and genuine, pulling you into their experience. It's a thoughtful piece that resonates on multiple levels.
