My Times

About This Movie

So, 'My Times' is this intriguing little film that revolves around a sixteen-year-old boy, who's not just your average teen but a savant. The setting is a hauntingly quiet farm in South Wales, post-Foot and Mouth Disease in 2001, which gives it this heavy atmosphere. You really feel the weight of grief as the boy's strange visions seem to guide his grieving uncle through the loss of his wife. It plays out at a leisurely pace, allowing the somber themes of loss and healing to really sink in. The performances are pretty raw; there's something wonderfully unrefined but genuine about them, which makes it stand out. I can’t quite place the distinctive vibe, but it lingers, you know?

'My Times' is quite scarce, with limited releases making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. There’s no extensive format history, so finding a decent copy can be a challenge, but that only adds to the allure. The film's unique take on grief and its subtle approach to storytelling pique interest among those who appreciate more obscure titles. It’s definitely one of those films that might spark conversations among collectors about its themes and execution.
