Opinion
Bi-Nocular Panic is a film about self-discovery. It starts by introducing best friends Cass and Jane, who are innocently spying on young men playing badminton from a distance.
The film beautifully captures the moment when a young woman named Melody appears. Cass’s attention is quickly drawn to her and the film shows her sudden realisation of a new and unexpected crush.
The story is a simple but powerful look at figuring out who you are. It’s an honest film bout the confusing but beautiful journey of discovering your identity. – – – – – by Chaniya Essome
