TLDR
Luca Guadagnino’s most underrated work, probably.
What it's about
In a military base in Italy, 14-year-old Fraser (Jack Dylan Grazer) meets other teens who are curious about their surroundings and each other.
The take
There is a warm glow and a languid mood about We Are Who We Are that makes it feel familiar for anyone who’s seen Luca Guadagnino’s works. But this eight-part series is longer than the auteur’s films (a stacked list that includes Call Me By Your Name and Bones and All), and so it can feel slow at times, dragging even. Still, it’s easy to forgive because of the relatable characters that lead the show. They’re confused, curious, and willing to bend their identities forward and back to learn something true about themselves. Nothing is set in stone here, neither gender, relationships, or politics, but that’s what makes it so validating to watch. It’s a complex picture—pretty but complex, as life often can be.
What stands out
The show's beautiful fluidity.
