9/10

I Am What I Am tackles the rarely discussed topic of sexual attraction and societal pressure to marry, highlighting how such expectations often clash with individual choices. The film presents its story simply and sincerely through Kasumi’s everyday life, creating an intimate atmosphere despite a slower pace and occasional shaky camerawork. Supported by strong performances, thoughtful color composition, and fitting music, the film leaves a lasting impression by inviting viewers to reflect on acceptance and personal freedom.
