A Woman Like Me
A WOMAN LIKE ME is a hybrid documentary that interweaves the real story of director Alex Sichel, diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2011, with the fictional story of Anna Seashell, who struggles to find the glass half full when faced with the same diagnosis. The film follows Alex as she uses her craft to explore what is foremost on her mind while confronting a terminal disease: parenting, marriage, faith, life, and death. When we are stuck between a rock and hard place, can our imagination get us out?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a poignant dialogue between raw personal documentary and carefully crafted fiction, exploring how creativity processes unimaginable fear. It relies on this dual structure not to compare, but to deepen the emotional and philosophical inquiry into living with a terminal prognosis.
What lingers after the final frame is a profound sense of resilience—a testament to the human capacity to seek meaning and connection even in the shadow of mortality. — MovieFinder Editorial
