What If

About This Movie

What If (2020) dives into the complexities of love and identity with a raw and honest vibe. The film explores David's journey as he confronts his own biases, which adds an interesting layer to the narrative. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection that resonate with anyone who’s ever grappled with issues of self-acceptance. Performances are solid, with a palpable chemistry that makes the emotional beats land effectively. It's not heavy on practical effects, but the simplicity of its presentation emphasizes the story’s emotional weight, making it distinctive in its own right.

What If has had a limited release, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. It’s not yet a mainstream title but has been gaining traction among enthusiasts of LGBTQ+ cinema. The film’s subtle approach to its themes sets it apart, appealing to those who seek deeper narratives. I’ve seen a few indie labels putting it out on various formats, but it remains a bit of a hidden gem in the collection circuit.
