Is That a Man?

About This Movie

So, 'Is That a Man?' kind of sneaks up on you with its absurd premise. Prince Luarsab's predicament of marrying the not-so-desired Darejan instead of the lovely one adds a layer of comedic tension. The film bumbles along with this quirky energy, balancing moments of slapstick with a surprisingly gentle exploration of acceptance. The pacing has this old-school vibe, letting scenes breathe a bit longer than you'd expect, which actually helps in character development. The practical effects are minimal, but honestly, they serve the story well. Performances are a mixed bag, with some actors really leaning into their roles, giving it this offbeat charm. It’s this strange gem, a window into an era of comedic storytelling that feels refreshingly different.
