6/10
A simple story, contrived in the telling
15 August 2022
In Saffy Nabbou's film 'Who You Think I Am', a woman impersonates a much younger person to woo a man on the internet. She does the job so well they become emotionally close without meeting; but of course, no meeting will ever be possible. Juliette Binoche is pretty good as the lead but the script lets her down. The film mainly works through the clumsy device of having its protagonist talking to a therapist, though at one stage, we're expected to follow an alternative working out of the story that she has imagined as a piece of fiction. The tale ends with a couple of twists in quick succession; at least one of them might have been better revealed upfront, so we understood the character's motivation better.
