Derek will take you on a journey. If you like questioning preconceived notions of identity, being, self, and labels -Please watch this without knowing ANYTHING about it. You will be left knowing more about who you are.

Man, I wish I lived in New York... At times, I thought this magic act/one-man show might be the most pretentious thing I've ever seen; by the end, I thought maybe the pretension lies in me, arrogantly thinking my ability to discern meaning from someone else's work is what gives it value. That's how powerful this is; that segment/trick at the end alone, of Derek "seeing"/" naming" every audience member, was undeniably breathtaking.

Let me tell you a story, are you sitting comfortably, then I'll begin.
Stop reading and just watch, why do you need other people's affirmations? The consensus says... Who cares?
It is truly marmite. Some will love it's affirmations of self, that we all long to be seen and take joy in the message. Others will see through it's emotional trickery and slight of hand Tom foolery and walk away with nothing. For those people I feel truly sorry.
Losses one star because the medium would be more powerful in person and now I've seen this I can never experience it for the first time in real life. For which I feel sadness. Excellent performance.

This is insightful, inventive, introspective, moving and thoroughly entertaining.
It really is phenomenal and I urge everyone to eatch it.

A work of art that will hit you right in your soul while at the same time challenging your brain like no other. Go in blind and leave the film without the temptation of looking up the answers your looking for, just let your mind work it out yourself. In and Of Itself is a magical experience.
9.5/10.

It's a one man performance that's meaningful, beautiful and emotionally heavy all in one. You just have to give it a watch to experience it. This really feels one of a kind.
It will stick with you, and probably make you look at things in a different way, which is something most performances / films don't pull off as easily as this does. It's just beautiful. Please go in blind to get the best experience possible.
The only thing I have to say is I was bawling my eyes out up until I noticed David Blaine and Bill Gates and I was a little taken out, but brought back in at the very end.
