Self is an intriguing exploration of the blurred lines between reality and fiction. Rique, a celebrated writer, finds himself ensnared by the very characters he created, which lends a surreal atmosphere to the entire film. The pacing allows for a deep dive into the complexities of creativity and mental health, particularly through Bruna's character, whose struggles with schizophrenia add a haunting layer to the narrative. Lígia's character serves as a grounding force, providing a contrast to Rique's spiraling mind. The performances are nuanced, with each actor breathing life into their roles. The practical effects used to manifest Rique's characters are subtle yet effective, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the storytelling.
