Self (2023) is this introspective drama that really digs into the psyche of its protagonist. The pacing can feel slow at times, but it serves the story well, allowing us to feel the weight of his self-doubt. The atmosphere is thick with tension, which heightens the moments of clarity and confrontation. I found the practical effects used during the young man's encounters to be quite innovative, adding a surreal touch that complements his emotional turmoil. The performances, though carried by an unknown cast, draw you in with their authenticity. It’s a film that quietly challenges you to think about your own fears and strengths, without ever going for the easy answers. Definitely a unique voice in the drama genre.
