People That Are Not Me is a character study centered on emotional fragmentation and the complexities of modern intimacy. It avoids traditionalist clichés by focusing on the messiness of life rather than a moralistic resolution. The film succeeds in centering a woman's internal struggle, moving away from clichés where female characters are defined solely by stable male leads. Joy's pursuit of connection through transient encounters provides a modern, secular lens on interpersonal dynamics. However, the narrative's capacity for representing multiple aspects of identity is limited by a lack of detail regarding racial, ethnic, and LGBTQ+ identities. The focus remains narrow on the protagonist's personal psychological state.
