These two characters would be fascinating in a 20-minute short film; in a loose 102-minute feature that’s pretty much all talk, they — and we — grow weary at times.

Rated: 2.5/4

It’s a good thing that Jagannathan and Brown have training in the theater: They imbue Priya and Nic’s densely verbal jousts, dodges and truths with compelling chiaroscuro hues.

A talky and mildly provocative two-hander.

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

Both Jagannathan and Brown are excellent at this combination therapy session/verbal joust, conveying their characters’ intelligence and affection for each other while also their capacity to conceal and deceive — especially themselves.

Rated: 3/4

With all the build-up, the possibility of some kind of powder keg going off, whether in a big way or something more subtle, could have given this quiet drama more to think about afterward. As it stands, it’s nice, but it didn’t really show me much else.

Rated: 6/10

Movie Nation

Whatever the object, the result is a shrug, a long, often inane conversation about a serious subject that can be dismissed with a single word review. “Meh.”

Rated: 1.5/4

Wow. I wasn't expecting it to be this intense, having read the drama / comedy descriptions. Yes, it has some wonderful laughs, but it was as riveting as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf or Bergman's Persona. Two people in a confined space telling their deepest secrets. Great dialogue, great acting. My wife and I came away shaken and edified and so glad we watched this.

"I'll Show You Mine" gets us close up to the characters for more than the fact there are only two of them in the story. As someone who greatly enjoys eavesdropping, I loved getting to be the third person in this house unoccupied for the weekend except for trauma memoirist Priya and her nephew, Nic, a pansexual former model there to be interviewed for a book on his career. Questions asked strip away the layers of discomfort and comfort, and back again, as both interviewer and interviewee reveal more than they arrived to say, and the viewer leaves thinking lots about what it means to be truly honest with oneself, plus the gift it can be to have someone listen to and accept us .I'm such a fan of the film's co-writer Elizabeth Searle for her intimate, eye-, soul- and perspective-opening novels, short stories and essays (plus her stage musical, "Tonya & Nancy: The Rock Opera") that I traveled three hours to the Provincetown Film Festival to view "I'll Show You Mine". I'm delighted that I now only have to switch on a variety of streamers like Prime or Apple TV to see it, and I urge you to do the same.

This is a really engaging film that follows an aunt who is a successful writer, and her nephew's (who has had a checkered public persona) weekend conversations about sexual expression for the aunt's upcoming book. The film is very well paced, and is captivating, helped by well timed animation breaks throughout. This is a must see film, thanks to the amazing performances by the two leads, extremely engrossing stories and dialogue by the writers, and put together artfully by the director. I look forward to future screenplays by these writers, such great material.

One great long engaging conversation that spans gender, sexuality and trauma. Funny, touching, sexy, triggering, heartbreaking.

Having had the pleasure of catching "I'll Show You Mine" at the NewFest Film Festival last year, I can confidently say that it was an absolute treat! This film delves into the complexities of today's sexual realities, fearlessly pushing boundaries on the big screen. It's important to note that this may not be suitable for all viewers, as it ventures into dark and uncomfortable territory. However, it is precisely these uncomfortable moments that shed light on the deep-seated emotional and sexual trauma that underlie certain behaviors. The film tackles these issues head-on, providing a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the human experience. The performances by Poorna and Casey are nothing short of exceptional. They breathe life into their characters, navigating the blistering hot and tense dialogue with precision. As Priya and Nic, they skillfully explore the delicate dance of testing each other's boundaries, creating a palpable tension that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Without giving away any spoilers, I must urge you to experience this film for yourself. Approach it with an open mind, ready to embrace its unapologetic exploration of the human psyche. "I'll Show You Mine" is an unflinching portrayal of modern sexuality that will challenge your preconceived notions and leave you with much to ponder.
