About This Movie

I Want To Be Like You is a curious blend of science fiction and thriller that dives into the complexities of identity and self-perception. The film follows two women who spiral into this intense cycle of changing their appearances, and it's both unsettling and fascinating. The pacing is a bit uneven, with moments that linger in a dreamlike state, almost like a slow burn, which adds to the eerie atmosphere. Practical effects are used cleverly, enhancing the surreal feel rather than relying on heavy CGI. Performances are raw, bringing a palpable tension that really conveys the desperation of their quest for happiness. It's distinctive in how it explores the darker side of beauty standards and personal fulfillment without offering easy answers.

Themes of identity and self-perception. · Uneven pacing enhances its surreal atmosphere. · Effective use of practical effects throughout.
