Identity Crisis

Super fun sci-fy story about a college student struggling with crippling self-esteem issues. She learns important lessons about where self worth comes from (being fearfully and wonderfully made by God) after attempting to create a clone with all the traits she wishes she possessed. The storytelling is so well done from writing to the acting, directing and editing. The colors and music are really fun. I love that actual twins play the student and her clone. I applaud the filmmakers for giving us intelligent female role models for young girls. It's fun, funny and deeply moving. Thanks for making my day!

Alexandra Boylan & Crew have done it again! A true to a young girls heart movie message to inspire and encourage! This movie should be a college course in Self Awareness! Understanding who we are has always been difficult but in today's society young people receive so much misinformation and misleading non facts that can negatively affect their future lives. The big facts that God created us in His image and in a fearful and wonderful way gets lost in the chaos and confusion. Not so in this movie! If you have a young person who is struggling with self esteem get this movie for them! If you are a young person who has been affected by insecurities that distract you from seeing your amazing characteristics watch this uplifting and relevant to you film!

Identity Crisis is a refreshing and enjoyable movie, especially for families with teenagers. Watching it with my daughters was such a great experience. One of the things I truly appreciated was how clean the movie was-there was no drugs, sex, or profanity, which is rare in teen films today. It's wonderful to have a movie that's not only fun to watch but also safe and appropriate for teens.

Beyond that, the movie carries an important message about self-acceptance and learning to love yourself, which really resonated with my girls. It sparked great conversations about self-worth and confidence. I highly recommend Identity Crisis for families looking for wholesome, impactful entertainment.

IN A NUTSHELL: The story is about a college student who is a bit of a genius who figures out how to clone herself. The film was written by Alexandra Boylan and Andrea Polnaszek. It's already won the ReFrame Stamp award, which is an award for featuring women in film casts and crews.

THINGS I LIKED: I love that the protagonist in the story is played by twin sisters: Scout & Sophia Tayui-lepore. I'm an identical twin, so that's what caught my eye with this movie. If you're a twin too, you HAVE to go to the annual Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio! It's held the first weekend of August every year. It's so much fun!

All of the Extras in the cast are actual students at Grand Canyon University.

Some of the cast members include Maria Canals-Barrera, Elester Latham, Laura Leigh Turner, and Finn Roberts.

I think everyone struggles with imposter syndrome and who they really are. Viewers will enjoy a sweet film that touches on those things, and one that encourages you to make the changes you want to see in your life.

While the movie isn't a typical Christian movie, it does mention that God created us and, because of that, we all have intrinsic worth. We see several Christian crosses and a university professor talks openly about God.

Lovely soundtrack.

I love that the movie features a girl in science who actually wants to learn. As a university professor, I love it when students actually see knowledge and take their education seriously.

It's refreshing to see a movie with lots of really nice people instead of bullies and jerks.

The classic dressing room montage is cliched but still cute.

Keep watching during the final rolling credits for some clips that show behind-the-scenes filming of the movie and outtakes.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: The musical numbers were nice but it was super distracting to see how the lips didn't quite match the audio when the girl was singing.

Several college students appear to have limitless funds and constantly go shopping to buy new clothes, something which might frustrate young viewers whose expectations are that they should be able to do the same thing.

TIPS FOR PARENTS: Older kids, especially girls, can be motivated and inspired by this story.
