Audience Reviews

Alunauwie 7/10 Jun 26, 2026
*This Is I (2026)* delivers a heartfelt exploration of identity, courage, and self-acceptance through strong performances, polished visuals, and an emotionally meaningful true story. Although its dual narrative, uneven emotional pacing, and limited character depth occasionally weaken the impact, the film remains compelling with its sincere message and thoughtful portrayal of Ai Haruna's journey. Overall, it is a worthwhile drama for viewers seeking an inspiring story about embracing one's true self.
