So, 'She is Herself' is a compact documentary that dives into Jinfeng Huang's personal journey, leaving behind the rigid structure of academia in China. You really feel her struggle with depression and the weight of expectations. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative, which complements her search for identity in the serene landscapes of New Zealand. There’s something raw about her performances – they don’t just tell her story; they pull you into her emotional landscape. The cinematography feels intimate, capturing her moments of solitude and self-discovery. It’s not flashy, but the authenticity of her experience and the stark contrasts between two cultures really stand out. You get a sense of resilience and hope quietly woven throughout.
