She Looks Like Me

About This Movie

So, 'She Looks Like Me' is this really intriguing documentary that dives deep into the life of a legless girl who gets adopted and becomes a gymnast. It’s not just about gymnastics, though; it’s filled with this emotional weight as we see her journey. The pacing is pretty steady, allowing us to really connect with her struggles and triumphs. What really caught my attention is the twist—she idolizes Dominique Moceanu, only to later find out they’re actually sisters. That’s some wild family drama! The performances, especially hers, are heartfelt and raw, making it feel very personal. It’s a unique exploration of identity and resilience that sticks with you long after it's over.
