Critics Consensus

A haunting look at the roots of radicalization, You Resemble Me wrings harrowing drama out of its fact-based coming-of-age story.

Such a tender beautiful love story between the two sisters. The radicalization themes were thought provoking and humanizing.

El Heraldo

The film captivates the viewer from the very beginning, starting with the resemblance between the two sisters, who give the film its name, and the development of the character of Hasna, inspired by a real-life case. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: B

Matthew Turner

VODzilla.co

Amer, who co-wrote the script with the film’s cinematographer, Omar Mullick, makes an extremely impressive directorial debut. The childhood scenes in particular are shot through with a frenetic and compelling energy, accentuated by skilful editing.

Rated: 4/5

High on Films

You Resemble Me eventually becomes a sort of patchy exercise that remains effective due to Mouna Soualem’s exceptional performance and dedication to telling an honest story.
