Sitting on My Face is a thought-provoking documentary that captures the raw emotions of Jade, a Korean-born art student navigating the complexities of racism, sexism, and homophobia in France. The film leans heavily on Jade's diary entries, which are poignant and personal, giving us a glimpse into her psyche. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, mirroring her feelings of disillusionment. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sit with Jade's anger and confusion. While the director remains anonymous, the authenticity shines through in Jade's performances that are both vulnerable and fierce. It’s distinctive for its honest portrayal of an artist reconciling her experiences through art. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on the emotional weight of Jade's journey.
