You may think you know what to expect from Nebbou’s gem, but as it unfolds, the tragic, hilarious, deeply cynical, and oddly uplifting film proves to be as multidimensional and expectations-defying as its formidable protagonist. Read full review

Who You Think I Am works as both an actor’s showcase and a thriller with some meat on its bones. Read full review

Quietly disturbing but also darkly amusing to the end. Read full review

This is a compulsively watchable drama which taps into some genuinely intriguing themes. A twisted and tangled final act makes heavy weather of some of its reveals, but Binoche is terrific throughout. Read full review

It’s a Russian nesting doll of intentions, betrayals, and self-delusions that presents its story of deception in a manner that's constantly surprising. Read full review

Who You Think I Am is a surprise package that plays its trump cards with shrugging insouciance, yielding giggles and gasps in equal measure, sometimes at once. Read full review

While Binoche is reliably magnetic and the fitfully pretty visuals match a ripped-from-the-headlines script, Who You Think I Am’s pot never quite comes to the boil. Read full review

I like this sort of story, the whole anonymity of the internet and the repercussions it can bring being questioned, that side of it. I liked Binoche's performance - she's very believable and it'd be hard not to feel for her character, even though what she does isn't right.

I found some of what happened to be a little questionable - the series of events after a certain point. That's more to do with understanding the chronology than anything else I think. The psychological aspect to this film really interested me but I did feel a little like it was holding something back. I suppose I assumed we (as in the viewer) would find out a bit more about Claire's background, her childhood etc. through her therapy sessions but that doesn't entirely happen. Its a good film for starting conversations about creating new identities and the like but it didn't entirely work for me. Its still worth seeing for Juliette Binoche's performance if nothing else though, I'd say.… Expand
