Call Me Dunham
10.0/10Jul 11, 2025
Adapted from a web series of the same title and directed by the same filmmaker, this film tells the story of a woman named Sore and her struggle to change the bad habits of Jonathan, the man who is destined to become her future husband. The premise is simple, but I didn’t expect Yandy to execute it so well. The use of the time-loop concept isn’t just a narrative element—it becomes a symbol of second chances and hope. The film explores themes of the existence of time, the struggle for love, pain, and regret. Time grants Sore a chance to change Jonathan, but her repeated failures show that nothing can truly alter someone’s fate unless the desire to change comes from within. Love’s struggle is portrayed through Sore’s unwavering efforts to save her love, even as time slowly devours everything. Jonathan’s pain and trauma shape him into a deeply wounded man, while the weight of his past mistakes threatens his future with regret.
