Critic Reviews for I Am Another You

All Critics (19) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (1)

"I Am Another You" is a remarkably sensitive and lovely portrait of an individual, a family, and a life that shines an uncommonly humane light on the issues of mental illness and homelessness.

Katie Walsh
Los Angeles Times
An excellent, intuitive study of American wanderlust.

Alan Scherstuhl
Village Voice
So absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that's also a detective story.

Godfrey Cheshire

"I Am Another You" poses tricky questions about the relationship between filmmaker and subject, and maybe between filmmaker and audience.

Ben Kenigsberg
New York Times
It's a canny bit of human-interest reportage and criticism of the form at once.

Calum Marsh
Village Voice
While I Am Another You is a scrappy production, it roots the narrative in the epic ambitions of its quixotic protagonist, and he fits nicely into a series of familiar archetypes.

Eric Kohn

[Nanfu sets] up a far more multifaceted and affecting portrait of privilege and mental illness than the documentary's early quixotic point of view would have you anticipate.

Luke Gorham
In Review Online
Over-narrating and explicating his charisma in lieu of showing it, Wang's undertaking of roughing it in Florida proves unpalatable, difficult, and a bit problematic-though the film's third act will soon reveal why.

Elissa Suh
MUBI
I Am Another You is a thoughtful meditation on how an individual's inner and outer selves can differ profoundly, and how we can be acquainted with somebody for years but not really know them at all.

Phil Guie
Film-Forward.com
One unintended bit of entertainment value is seeing the naivete of the Chinese ex-pat director, falling under this pretty boy's spell like everyone else he meets.

Roger Moore
Movie Nation
Divided into three chapters ... the movie is a compelling hybrid of personal reflection and observational filmmaking.

Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Hammer to Nail
If you read between the lines, you'll see the etchings of a self-portrait that is far more complex and engaging than the Dylan Olsen-shaped watercolor in the forefront.
