In Your Name

About This Movie

In Your Name, directed by an unknown yet talented hand, captures the weighty atmosphere of 1970s Latin America under a military dictatorship. The film's pace is deliberate, allowing the audience to really sit with Boni’s internal struggles. He’s an engineering student drawn into the armed struggle, but there’s this palpable tension between his ideals and the grim reality of violence. The performances are raw and honest, lending a gritty realism to the characters. The practical effects, though minimal, evoke the era’s rawness without feeling overdone. What strikes me is the way it encapsulates the conflict between hope and despair, making it a reflective piece on the cost of resistance.
