Morgana O’Reilly’s fearless, funny, and unexpectedly tender debut feature that recently made its world premiere in the New Zealand International Comedy Festival.
O’Reilly turns her own body into a map of memory, mischief, and motherhood. With the precision of stand-up and the intimacy of a confession, she traces a life lived in skin: 78 organs, 206 bones, 32 teeth, 8.8 kilograms of armour, and two whole human bodies brought into the world.
What begins as a wildly candid comedy special blooms into a story-driven film of sharp observations and big-hearted truths - spanning diary entries from ’98, boobs, birth, selling toes in New York City, and the ongoing, complicated task of learning to like her chins - this is a celebration of messy, magnificent womanhood. Unfiltered, vulnerable, and gloriously unapologetic, Stories About My Body comes with a warning: there will be nudity… and you will love it.
