Likeness

About This Movie

Likeness is a deep dive into the psyche of a woman, Mia, whose obsession with beauty shapes her existence. It's got this raw atmosphere, almost claustrophobic at times, where the weight of her desires feels like a ball and chain. The pacing kind of lingers, giving you space to really feel her turmoil. The performances lean into the uncomfortable, drawing you into Mia’s world where beauty isn’t just a gift—it’s a life sentence. The visuals are striking, with practical effects that enhance the emotional weight rather than distract. It's distinct in its exploration of vanity versus self-worth, a theme that's rarely tackled with such intensity. Overall, it’s a quiet yet impactful film that sticks with you.
