These have little thematic bearing on the story, but they make for a vibrant aesthetic, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earing and reappearing during moments of quiet reflection. A now-adult Jen Bricker \u2014 a woman born without legs \u2014 narrates the broad strokes of her childhood, from her adoption in rural Illinois, to the way her parents and three older brothers raised her to believe she could do anything she wanted. Old photos and home videos paint a portrait of a precocious young girl, for whom interests like baseball, basketball and gymnastic tumbling weren\u2019t insurmountable hurdles, but temporary challenges that she would inevitably overcome. However, when she finds herself drawn, as a seven-year-old, to the career of famous teenage gymnast Dominique Moceanu \u2014 to whom she bears an uncanny resemblance \u2014 family secrets begin to unravel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    While \u201cShe Looks Like Me\u201d begins as a tale of Jen\u2019s upbeat resilience and her curiosity about her biological family, its narrative becomes quickly bifurcated. It\u2019s as much about Dominique\u2019s childhood too. She occupies an entirely different world, to which Jones whisks us away by zooming into the corners of the Bricker family\u2019s footage, to find TV screens playing broadcasts of Dominique competing. As Jen eagerly dotes upon the older athlete, she imagines a perfect life for her, but the truth is much darker, and is soon revealed once the movie switches perspective and begins telling Dominique\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The actual connection between the two young girls (now women in their thirties and forties) isn\u2019t all that hard to parse given the details laid out, and the movie is quick to reveal it too. However, despite Jen\u2019s desire to meet her inspiration, \u201cShe Looks Like Me\u201d bides its time and delays this tale of search and potential meeting, in favor of telling the stories of its two subjects in great detail. On one hand, it digs into the depths of Dominique\u2019s rigorous upbringing by her gymnast parents, a pair of Romanian immigrants to the U.S. whose customs, according to Dominique, led to a culture of silence. This went hand in hand with an abusive environment on the USA Gymnastics team (a scandal that would eventually become public). On the other hand, it follows the ups and downs of Jen\u2019s story after she leaves home for college, and brushes up against a world that isn\u2019t prepared to treat a disabled woman with the amount of respect she has for herself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Bodily insecurity is a major part of both women\u2019s stories, from the expectations foisted upon young female gymnasts, to the surprising (and amusingly frank) admissions from Jen, whose self-image issues, it turns out, have little to do with not having legs. As Jen takes up a physically grueling passion of her own \u2014 aerial acrobatics \u2014 Jones and cinematographer Andrew White present graceful re-stagings of moments from her career, which make deft use of shadow and spotlight, and veer into rousing territory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    However, the further \u201cShe Looks Like Me\u201d goes on, the less it\u2019s able to completely balance its competing narratives. Jen\u2019s tale remains personal and familial. Meanwhile, as Dominique\u2019s half of the movie becomes about her public advocacy, its framing becomes less intimate, widening its scope to include public figures like Simone Biles, rather than family members. This leaves a number of pressing questions unanswered when the two women\u2019s lives finally intersect \u2014 questions Jen claims to have pondered as a child.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In pushing these elements into the backdrop, \u201cShe Looks Like Me\u201d ends up skimming the surface of an emotionally explosive story, and rushes through its more discomforting beats, to arrive at payoffs that feel only semi-earned. Despite these flaws in its construction, the film proves riveting in isolated moments, enough to make it an intriguing watch, even though two women\u2019s final steps toward much-needed catharsis unfold mostly off-screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
