that´s not me!

About This Movie

So, 'that's not me!' is an introspective piece that dives deep into the life of Jake, a transgender boy navigating the tumultuous waters of high school. The film really captures that raw, often uncomfortable feeling of being trapped in a body that doesn't quite match your identity. The pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but it allows for moments of reflection that resonate. The performances are solid; you can sense the internal conflict in Jake without needing flashy effects. It’s more about the subtlety of his struggle and the atmosphere of isolation and yearning that permeates the school environment. There's a genuine authenticity here, which makes it stand out amongst typical coming-of-age narratives.
