Selfie

About This Movie

Selfie (2025) dives into the raw and often messy realities of teenage life through the lens of Eungyo Han, a high school student in 2004. The film's atmosphere carries a nostalgic weight—you can practically feel the early 2000s all around her. Pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of silence that speak volumes, contrasting with the chaos of high school drama. It’s not just about capturing memories; it’s a reflection on identity, social media beginnings, and the struggles of adolescence. The practical effects are subtle but effective, grounding the story in reality. Performances are heartfelt, particularly from the lead, giving a relatable depth. It’s distinctive for how it handles themes of connection and isolation, without falling into the usual tropes.
