We Are Who We Are

Most tourists only see the Grand Canal, so great to see other parts of that Northern Laguna, passed so quickly from Venice airport to the Old City. Fraser, the adolescent is definitely a complete paradox of a young man, but it's great to see such complex character-molding, with so candid treatment of alternate sexuality and the way the community embraces it - or otherwise. The rest of the Screen-Making community could learn a thing or two from this candid filmography, literally by letting scenes "roll", showing things as they are, as opposed to what the directors want them to be. The guys in this are certainly coquettish, but that's because normal guys, in real life DO act in this manner. Objectified? - huh! Now just don't go and spoil things, HBO - since my "7" , like many others' praise here is provisional.

The first six episodes really seemed like they had promise. The show touches on many interesting ideas, but does not follow through on many (or most) of them.

The seventh episode was a waste of time that added nothing to the stories.

The eight episode is 40 minutes of a concert I didn't want to attend, then a nonsensical ending to a story that had built such complicated characters.

Very unsatisfying overall, but if you're going to try it, binge it. Not worth waiting week to week.

In true Luca fashion, the directing is amazing and the scenery is stunning.

The first episode follows Fraser (played by Jack Dylan Grazier) and his family moving into a US military base in Italy.

Fraser is a quirky, troubled teen who we get to learn a bit about. His interactions and journeys around the base and outside of it make him a loveable and curious character.

The soundtrack, like in Luca's Call Me By Your Name, is extremely brilliant.

While the episode doesn't seem to have any particular direction, once I finished it, I wanted to watch more. Can't wait for the rest of the series.

Only one episode in and I know We Are Who We Are will be a classic for years to come. With stunning cinematography and a score from Dev Haynes (or Blood Orange as many may know him), so far Jack Dylan Grazer shines as Fraser in an ethereally beautiful, Italian-set, indie slow burn. Classy, stunning and poinant. Coming-of-age has never been so raw and sultry.

Guys, the directing of this show is amazing. And the soundtrack??????? GOD. I really liked it. Although i missed a defined plot for the first episode, we still got the chance to meet the characters from Fraser´s sight.
