Siddhant Adlakha Variety While occasionally languorous, the 2026 Czech Oscar entry “I’m Not Everything I Want to Be” is one of the rare documentaries about an artist that goes above and beyond to embody its subject’s creative spirit, often to a fault. Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? It’s an informative and exciting piece that provides the parallel journeys of political oppression and individual awakening. Rated: 7/10 Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film It is rare when, within a well understood genre, we see something that simply feels new. Rated: B+ Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net I'm Not Everything I Want To Be is an awe-inspiring photographic version of the classic story of how it takes an entire lifetime for an artist to finally be properly recognized. Rated: 9/10 Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) It’s a gorgeous film about an artist’s journey toward self-acceptance and personal freedom told with the same verve and non-conformity as its subject. Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News Does an exciting job of translating Jarcovjáková’s work into a different medium while remaining true to its essence. As a diary film, it successfully crosses two artists’ perspectives. Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
