    Brilliant acting by Juliette as always. She has the ability to create the perfect part in any movie she works in! Absolutely loved the storyline and Juliette of course!

    I absolutely love Juliette Binoche in almost every movie I've seen with her in it. I knew that this would be an emotional and provocative film and I was still surprised by how the film panned out. Definitely gave me a lot of stuff to chew on, especially our presentation of our "true" selves in the digital world (our "avatar" if you will) and how that aligns with our true selves in the real world, and how the two worlds converge, intersect, parallel or possibly collide with one another. A MUST SEE!!!

    Given that a similar catfish thing happened to me and I fell way into it, I found this movie cathartic. For people of all ages, it is too easy to be fooled online by someone pretending to be someone they are not. It is heartbreaking when you fall for a fictitious character and there is no way to differentiate beyween being told a grain of truth from a full package of lies. Bascially a catfish is a pathplogical liar and it is still easy to love them. This movie is great, nuanced, beautifully done, superbly acted by both Bincohe and her therapist, and some nice twists at the end! And of course, one should always try and catfish the catfish! Binoche's face is everything! The fear of aging, the longing to be young again, the trauma of abandonment. Wow, quite a film!

    Not sure it could have been a more intelectually and emotionally intense ride about beign a "catfish" on social media. Juliette Binoche at the top of her game. Psychiatrist played by Nicole Garcia excellent co-protagonist.

    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.

    This is my first Safy Nebbou film, and it was not a disappointment. This was my 16th (at least) Juliette Binoche film, and they are almost never a disappointment. And it one is, it isn't due to her. She's one of my all-time favorite actors, and she is stellar in 'Who You Think I Am'. Also stellar here is the direction by Sebbou along with he and his co-writers Peyr and Laurens. Very skillful story telling that seemed at once believable, manipulative, and ultimately rather tragic. The characters Claire, Alex, and Dr. Bormans are fleshed out roles of depth and sincerity. It's pretty unspeakable what happened to Claire with her own flesh and blood she took into her home. Gilles is a bigger rat bastard than Ludo, who's a pretty big dirtbag. Civil and Garcia are both great as Claire's young love interest and her therapist. Dr. Borgman's slow change from reticent stand-in shrink to warm, caring acquaintance is an important aspect to Claire's hope for recovering, and Garcia plays it like real vet pro. Civil is all wide-eyed young guy with an intense desire for love. There's some very nice visual moments here. One is when Ludo tells Claire about the latest with Alex after 'Clara' had told him she was marrying and moving away. Binoche's Claire walks to the edge of mid-building walkway, with just the gate preventing her fall. Then she rides abikes with Ales along the edge of a very high cliff. Both bring on the sense of that news from Ludo. The complex and often fragile psyche, the troublesome ego, and the very real realities of age can and do make for some sad, unfortunate decisions and events. But so does selfishness, conceit, and deception. We get all that in 'Who You Think I Am'. Again, Binoche is brilliant here. It's among her finest performances, imo. 3.8 stars

    This is an absolute must watch to see the amazing talent of Juliette Binoche. I promise. Enough said

    Anything starring Juliette Binoche is worth a watch. The main problem I had with the story is that whatever sympathy is built up for the ill-behaved but tortured Clair is undermined by the ambiguous ending.

    Loved this movie. Juliette Binoche was compelling to watch.
