On My Own

About This Movie

On My Own is this quietly compelling drama that really digs into the complexities of family and mental health. Set against the backdrop of a Canadian boarding school, it captures Simon's isolation and confusion wonderfully. Antonio Tibaldi’s direction gives it this almost dreamlike quality, where the tension simmers just beneath the surface. You can feel the weight of Simon's struggle as he grapples with his mother's schizophrenia, which is both heartbreaking and raw. The performances are quite striking, especially the way Simon's character evolves throughout. The pacing is intentional and allows you to sit with the emotions rather than rush past them. It's a film that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, exploring the notion of being lost yet seeking connection.
