What You See In My Eyes is one of those quiet films that really draws you in, you know? Set against the backdrop of 1990s Peru, it weaves a personal story of identity and resilience. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in poignant moments of Makoto’s memories. Through his father’s Aikido training, the film explores themes of self-defense—not just physically, but emotionally as well. The performances have this raw authenticity; you can feel the struggle in Makoto's journey. It’s fascinating how it combines cultural history with personal narrative, creating a unique atmosphere that stays with you. The visual storytelling, though simple, becomes powerful in its execution, and there's a distinct charm in its imperfections.
