YOU RESEMBLE ME tells the true story of Hasna Ait Boulahcen, a woman who was falsely accused of being Europe's first female suicide bomber. Cultural and intergenerational trauma erupt in this story about two sisters on the outskirts of Paris. After the siblings are torn apart, the eldest, Hasna, struggles to find her identity, leading to a choice that shocks the world. Director Dina Amer takes on one of the darkest issues of our time and deconstructs it in an intimate story about family, love, sisterhood, and belonging.

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.

3/5

If the film loses potency in straining for such empathetic effect, it remains admirably trenchant.

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]
