Mrs C The people in this film are so nasty and crass. Seems more like the deep south instead of San Diego based on redneck behavior. Idk what film the other reviewers watched. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Lorenzo P "What's my name again" exists in a world that has a clear and specific Identity. Writer/Director Spencer Zender efficaciously creates a narrative rhythm and pacing that take us straight back to mid-eighties California, the setting for Bo.. (enter correct family name)'s coming of age journey to self-discovery. Newcomer Ryan Winn nicely captures and carries the emotional essence of the lead character, making him relatable in spite of his own sometimes questionable behavior, as do best friend Griff (Nick Shultz) and Bo's girlfriend Alea (Talia Mychael Blaney). Seth Fuller's evocative and cohesive photography walk us through the film's journey fluidly, guided by a strong script and authentic story. It is always invigorating to discover a first time director that already possesses a clear voice and operates in the landscape of real independent film, exciting things in store for the future! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
