About This Movie

Still Me, directed by Sam Jelley, weaves a delicate narrative around Bailey's journey of coming out at school, diving deep into the struggles of identity and acceptance. The film has this raw, intimate atmosphere; you really feel the weight of Bailey's choices. The pacing is quite reflective, allowing moments of tension to linger, which makes the emotional beats hit harder. Performances are solid, especially from the lead, who captures the character's internal conflict beautifully. What stands out here is how it doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of social dynamics among teens. Practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the grounded feel of the story. It feels very real, which is refreshing in this genre.
