Who Am I Now?

source: Who Am I Now?

There are several caveats that need to be put into place for this film. Firstly, It is so micro-budget it may as well have been shot on a camcorder. The cinematography and the sound mixing are very sub-par. Secondly, The acting isn't great, and it certainly doesn't help that everyone is supposed to be in college but seems at least a decade too old. Thirdly, This type of narrative with characters so scared of their sexual identity seems archaic. The attitudes are only slightly advanced from 'Desert Hearts' which was made in the 80s and set in the 50s. The 'Coming Out' story, or more specifically its sub-genre the 'Coming Out To Yourself' story has been done to death in the English Speaking world and we don't necessarily need another one. Having said that, the by-the-numbers approach that this film has is adequate enough.

It's a great story that's very relevant to our current times. It's makes you want to continue the follow the story after the movie ends. Only drawback is actors aren't convincing as 20 something year olds. Once you get past that it's enjoyable. I would to see how the story continues to unfold.

I liked this movie a lot, but I think some think its a love story when that is far from the truth. The story dealt with some hard facts when dealing with our own sexuality, and it did so with a real world vision instead of movie magic romance. It left me thinking, yet hopeful.

As the writer and director are the same person we are definitely seeing the the artist's. Vision. It is a coming out story for two women that have been denying their own, respective sexualities. A one night stand between them throws not only their worlds into chaos but, their friends lives as well. It doesn't have a story-book ending but, there is truth in that. THE NEGATIVES: Bad casting choices. 30 to 40 something actors as college students just starting to experience life. Mixing 20, 30 and 40 somethings as a tight knit group of friends-in college. A laser focused / tunnel vision aspect to the scenes in public places. By that I mean the background actors could have been replaced with cardboard cut-outs. Things that just didn't work: A business major that doesn't understand statistics. A college, never pictured, devoid of other people. The drinking at work scenes for both leads. The two businesses are lacking customers and allow on the job drinking. The dialog for the first half of the movie is as subtle as a chainsaw. To the author: You told a realistic story and did it well. The emotional subtext comes through in your your work. Comparable to Robert Heinlein's passage on 1 and 1 and 1 don't always equal 3. Please polish your craft, I look forward to you future works.

The film has an indie quality that really takes you into the character's lives and friendships. A tasteful discovery of identity film that leaves you excited for what's next.

I think films should be judged in the context of their budget - and for a low budget drama, this delivers. It's a story about women struggling with their sexuality. The film would have felt a little more timely in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, maybe 2000s, but by 2021 it's not as groundbreaking. But not every film needs to break new ground. There is one hot love scene. Worth a look.

Quite simple story and characters and premise. The songs are just out of the world but quite same sounding. Are you thinking of watching this? If yes then sure go for it it's not disappointing at all it's quite great.

I'd say it's a piece of a life kind of story and shows the moments in that specific timeline. The movie has a very intimate setting of few characters and the chemistry between them is present. The friendship and beautiful moments are there and also the romantic parts are also presented beautifully. A little unnecessary explicit scenes for me but they have to sell it to men viewers cuz they love girl stuff. But definitely worth the watch.

This movie was so bad it was laughable. The plot makes no sense one moment theyre making out and the literal next they yelling at each other at one point one of them was crying in the shower because of a fight they had and out of nowhere the other one appears and starts to make out with her.
