9/10
Heart-wrenching documentary that meditates on the psychology of existence and entertainment: and how they've become inseparable.

I Made You, I Kill You covers a man's traumatic childhood upbringing under the shackles of na abusive father who threatened to kill him with a kitchen knife when he was still just a little kid. This shows that the trauma of one's nurturers can have MASSIVE repercussions later on in one's life (the dude narrating the film can't look at someone slicing bread with a knife the same way because of his father's abuse); and sometimes the refuge of cinema is all that one has in one's own life sometimes.

It's a very depressing yet captivating documentary that deserves greater exposure and maybe even a feature length remake if necessary (it just needs a wider release though). This film is today's most necessary film focusing on mental health and personal reflections, and that one's past may never go away but moving on, confronting it and acknowledging it are among the many steps towards fixing one's self.

I Made You, I Kill You is an under-exposed and underrated masterclass in short documentary filmmaking.
