You Build The Thing You Think You Are

About This Movie

You Build The Thing You Think You Are is a fascinating dive into absurdism, mixed with personal crisis. Joz Norris, who’s both the subject and the storyteller, crafts this unique narrative, which feels like a blend of stand-up and confessional theater. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to marinate in the awkwardness and introspection, with moments that swing from painfully relatable to bizarrely amusing. The practical effects are minimal, which suits the raw, unfiltered nature of the story, focusing more on Joz's performance and his unraveling identity. It’s distinct in how it tackles mental health through humor and absurdity, leaving you pondering the constructs of self as you chuckle at the absurdities of it all.
