"The worlds of contemporary geopolitics and narrative independent filmmaking collide in You Resemble Me<\/i>, a movie that shape-shifts from a first act coming-of-age tale into something searing and provocative, and ripped straight from the headlines. Bold and scattered, it marks a formidable debut for Dina Amer" The Film Stage<\/i>

Two sisters growing up amid neglect and abuse run wild on the streets of Paris. After they run away and are split up, Hasna in particular adopts a myriad of identities as she lives with her troubled past. You Resemble Me<\/i> is a raw and compelling narrative crafted in a unique style illustrating her mental fragmentation, as she struggles to find community and survive.

"this absorbing experimental film … seemingly conjures the voice of its deceased subject to tell a gripping and painful story of dislocation and belonging" The Hollywood Reporter<\/i>
