That’s What I Am

Directed by Michael Pavone

In 1965, 13-year-old paperboy Andy is paired with a geek for a school project, revealing lessons of friendship and personal growth in the backdrop of junior high dynamics.
That’s What I Am is a sincere school drama about bullying, difference and the damage caused by rumours. The film is conventional and sometimes overly earnest, but Ed Harris brings warmth and authority, while the younger cast handles the material with sensitivity.
