What Makes Us Boys dives into the complexities of growing up through the lens of two brothers, Daan and Sam. It captures that awkward transition from childhood to adolescence with a rawness that's almost palpable. The film's pacing feels intentionally slow at times, allowing you to sit in those uncomfortable moments that define youth. The digital age looms large, impacting their relationship in ways that feel both familiar and unsettling. There's a sense of intimacy woven throughout, making their bond feel authentic and relatable. The performances are grounded, with a natural chemistry that brings their struggles to life. It's not just about the challenges they face, but also about the courage it takes to embrace one's true self. Definitely a unique take on the coming-of-age genre.
