Time to Be a Boy is an intriguing short documentary that captures the rawness of life in a post-quarantine world. The director, who remains unnamed, seems to embrace a lo-fi aesthetic that complements the film's themes of isolation and rediscovery. The pacing feels natural, almost conversational, allowing viewers to sit with the emotions conveyed by the subjects. It’s not flashy, but there's a distinct authenticity in the interviews and the snippets of everyday life. The practical effects are minimal, yet they enhance the atmosphere—jarring at times, but also poignant. The performances, if you can call them that, are genuine; real people sharing real experiences, which adds to its charm. It’s a unique glimpse into a world cautiously stepping back into the light.
