You Resemble Me is an immersive, gut-wrenching, creative debut from Dina Amer, hellbent on figuring out the woman at its heart - and the world that made her. lou_kicks' review:
In her directorial debut, award-winning journalist-turned-filmmaker Dina Amer is trying something different. A rigorously and investigatively sourced biopic embedded with a face-to-face documentary short,recounts a history so contemporary it could blend into today’s headlines, so recent you could’ve been there for it—like Amer was.
Painted as the “cowgirl of the hood”—a wayward, contemptible drug-abuser-meets-sex worker-meets-terrorist—Hasna’s reputation fell prey to an onslaught of reports eager to dogpile on the easy target from one of many angles: Xenophobia, Islamophobia, misogyny, religious blasphemy, cultural dishonor, the list goes on. Choose your motivation and there’s an army behind it. Tacking onto the shameful coverage, the media never properly identified her.
One of Amer’s most interesting choices—pertaining to Hasna’s three media personas—is her decision to cast adult Hasna as three separate women , muddying her identity through a thematic reflection on the media’s mistakes and Hasna’s lifelong tendency to morph into someone else: “You don’t know all the women I’ve been.
It isn’t long before Hasna’s new foster mom, the Karen of all Karens, is straightening Hasna’s curly hair, guilting her into eating roast pork at the dinner table , critiquing her posture, making her celebrate Christmas and using every moment to unleash a derogatory cotillion lesson, upholding colonial tradition.
