What's in a Name

About This Movie

So, 'What's in a Name' is one of those films that leans heavily into dialogue, which really does carry the weight of the entire piece. Set around a seemingly benign dinner gathering, you’ve got Vincent, this upper-crust real estate guy, dropping a bomb about his unborn child’s name. The tension builds slowly but surely, lacing humor with some sharp social commentary. The cast, with their lively back-and-forth, creates a distinct atmosphere that feels both intimate and a bit claustrophobic. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the comedic moments to land just right, while the underlying themes of identity and familial bonds add depth. It’s a blend of wit and discomfort that really makes it stand out, especially the performances that keep you engaged throughout.
