“Tender and poetic (…) Into My Name is an achievement”.
Lovia Gyarkye – THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER (US)
“Elliot Page’s attachment as executive producer will spur interest, but ‘Into My Name’ stands on its own as a sensitive, humanist portrait of four young F to M trans Italians coming into their own. […] Ultimately it’s the film’s own strengths that will see
it find welcoming audiences.”
Jay Weissberg – THE FILM VERDICT (US)
“An urgent reminder of what trans people face every day in Italy — and everywhere — and the emotional toll it takes to simply exist”
Jude Dry – INDIEWIRE (US)
“Beautifully crafted”
David Hudson – CRITERION COLLECTION (US)
“It’s an open-hearted, at times ironic but never morbid tale about the long and turbulent process of making peace with oneself, in all its extraordinary normality, which the director recounts with respect and humanity”
Vittoria Scarpa – CINEUROPA (International)
“An important piece of contemporary queer filmmaking” Matthew
Joseph Jenner – INTERNATIONAL CINEPHILE SOCIETY (International)
“An empathic tale of transition”
Cristina Piccino – IL MANIFESTO (Italy)
“It’s a meditation on trans humanity and I’ve never seen another film like it. Knowing that Bassetti consulted closely with his trans son throughout production is so beautiful to me, and I think that lived experience and input is clear in the film’s perspective. I’m honored to be onboard and can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
Elliot Page
