Men Like Me is a fascinating deep dive into the journey of Dale Michaels, a transgender man, told through a mix of visual styles. The documentary feels almost experimental, with its use of stills, animations, and morphing images that create a unique rhythm. You get this raw and honest look at transformation—not just physical, but social too. The pacing is a bit unconventional; it lingers on moments that would feel rushed in a more traditional doc. The sound design is just as crucial, with out-of-sync dialogue adding to the surreal atmosphere. It doesn’t offer easy answers, which makes it even more compelling—it’s just this honest, messy, real exploration of identity that sticks with you.
