"I can't keep helping you if you're lying". (Dr. Catherine Bormans wonders how she can possibly remain a tool in Claire's emotional recovery).

This French story emanating from the novel by Camille Laurens of the same name doesn't quite live up the literary thrill of the best seller. It is often the case, but the film is definitely an excellent interpretation of teacher Claire Millaud (Juliette Binoche) playing the "catfish" game on-line as 24 year old Clara; a game she is never in completely controls, or so we are lead to believe. But then again, through clues dropped along the way, just maybe she has a much greater adenda. Claire has been abandoned by her husband for a younger woman and most of her feelings and actions are fully disclosed to her psycho-therapist Dr. Bormans (Nicole Garcia). The significance of this relationship is blurred in the beginning and while the interchange has more gravity later, the film version doesn't quite match the thrill depicted in the pages of the best-seller. Binoche and Garcia carry the film and team to make Who You Think I am well worth a visit to the cinema.  8GUMS.
