I Too Have a Name

About This Movie

I Too Have a Name dives deep into the human psyche amidst the backdrop of post-war Sri Lanka. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, with a palpable sense of loss. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to linger on moments of silence that speak volumes. The performances of the nun and the servant are raw and haunting—they carry this weight of history and trauma brilliantly. What’s distinctive here is how it doesn’t shy away from the brutality of their past yet intertwines it with a fragile hope for reconciliation. The practical effects are understated, focusing more on the emotional scars than physical ones. If you’re into films that explore the messiness of healing in the aftermath of conflict, this one's a striking piece to consider.
