Ghosted by her hunky twentysomething lover, Claire (Binoche--balancing cunning and vulnerability), a middle-aged professor and single mom, creates a fake Facebook profile to do a little undetected online snooping. But when her 24-year-old avatar "Clara" is friended by her ex's equally attractive roommate (François Civil), superficial correspondence quickly escalates towards intense intimacy and uncontrollable obsession. Adapted from Camille Laurens' best-selling novel--and co-scripted by Julie Peyr, a regular collaborator of Arnaud Desplechin--Who You Think I Am blends genres and bends reality to dizzying effect.

Critics Consensus

Who You Think I Am bites off more plot than some viewers will be able to chew, but its narrative entanglements are more than offset by Juliette Binoche's central performance.

Binoche is one of the treasures of international cinema and her luminous performance is what makes this twisty story as much about our own sense of who we are as much as about the version of herself her character wants to create.

…modern, intelligent and thoughtful in the way it considers the impact of the internet on our lives; it’s proper cinema, keeping the audience right on edge, and allowing Binoche to give yet another revelatory performance…

Rated: 4/5

Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Who You Think I Am is a solid melodrama thriller with an impressive lead performance. Juliette Binoche elevates the screenplay written by Safy Nebbou and Julie Peyr.

At first I thought it was slow going and a bit disjointed, however it picked up and made sense, I enjoyed it. Juliette Binoche is a stellar professional and the other actors were excellent. It is an unusual movie with an unusual plot and I would encourage anyone to see it, especially if they are Binoche fans.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
