Reviews

A promising and impressively self-assured debut for 23-year-old filmmaker Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, "As You Are" is crafted with the confidence and skill of a veteran, but also the youthful eye of someone not far removed from his protagonists.

Geoff Berkshire, Variety

...a visceral film where the conflict, characters and narrative slowly reveal themselves through details that foreshadow deeper hurt, unease and social injustice.

Josh Cabrita, The Young Folks
