The starring narrative device is supernaturally nonsensical unless head canon points the omitted detail as another twisted nail while behaviorally moody not premeditated, Sophie Turner's film debut leaves a nice impression over her tonal capabilities through this utterly eerie thriller that seemingly would amp up a Hitchcockian approach if not similarly presented towards the demographic's accessible tastes. (B)

Poorly written and procedural. When Faye tells her mother she thinks she is being stalked by a look-alike her mother says, oh well you did have an identical twin that died at birth. I'm not sure how many policemen at the scene of a crash will tell to teenagers who happen upon the scene the entire details of the incident, a girl threw a rock at the car etc. For fans of Sophie Turner only…

the whole concept is fine, but it's not executed well at all - both the acting & dialog are barely palpable.

A movie that doesn't do anything wrong with its story or characters, but it really didn't leave with a story that I ever want to see again.

Another Me is a movie i expected to think nothing of/despise. After watching Dark Phoenix, i was curious to delve deeper into Sophie Turner's other work and this one intrigued me the most. However, its 2.2 average score on Letterboxd and the very low audience score on rotten tomatoes worried me. When I watched it though for the first time last month, I loved it but didn't grasp everything. However, when I watched it today with Will Walker (who had not seen it until today), I got a better grasp and loved it even more. The story is admittedly a complex one that does require the audience to pay constant attention to it. There is a lot of foreshadowing and symbolism that fills this movie. One of the biggest pieces of foreshadowing though is the scar on Fay's hand that she made to differentiate her from Lily. This matters since it is an indicator to tell who Fay is and who Lily is. Speaking of Lily, she is Fay's twin who was killed as the result of a disease that forced her and Fay's father, Don, to sacrifice one of them. This results in lily becoming an angered spirit who drives both Fay and Don to insanity. Her main goal is to rob Fay of her life and get what she feels she deserves and she actually succeeds. there is no dumb fairy tale finale in which Fay wins the day and overcomes Lily. The movie ends like it should, depressing and haunting. In a way, Lily symbolizes Fay's descent into madness. Lily causes Fay to see her which causes her paranoia to reveal dark aspects about her parents, especially her mother, Ann, who has been cheating on her disabled husband with Fay's drama teacher. Fay then confronts her mother about this and Ann then tells Fay that she will not sleep with him again. Of course, Ann is later shown to have lied as she was then pointed out by the police to be in the car with the drama teacher when Lily mortally wounded him. Fay seems to be more attached to her father, Don since he not only seems more understanding between him and Ann, but near the end, reveals to Fay that he can also see Lily as well. He even tries to stop Fay from seeing lily, in fear of Lily stealing Fay. Fay though thinks that she can resolve this whole thing and storms out of the room. This impulsive decision results in her not only being consumed by Lily, but lead to her father's death, when he goes on a faulty elevator which was established as such earlier on. The acting is without a doubt my favorite part of this movie. The two best performances are thankfully the two that needed to be amazing. Sophie Turner is phenomenal as Fay and makes her character extremely likable and realistic. The one i was surprised by the most was Rhys Ifans( who some may know as the stupid looking Goomba Lizard in the Amazing Spider Man) as Don. Unlike his meh performance in that movie, here is he is allowed to actually act and really sells his disability which is extremely hard to do without being so over the top that it becomes a joke ( i am looking at you What's Eating Gilbert Grape for having Leo portray the most offensive version of someone on the spectrum). The cinematography completely took me back since i was totally ready for the same level of pigshit camerawork, editing and lighting from horrid turds like Slender Man or Bye Bye Man. Instead i got lighting that embraced the tone of each scene perfectly, camera work that was flawless and had the best use of shaky cam since 28 Days Later and had coherent editing that was able to communicate it's story without me getting a headache or boring me to death. The music is really great to and helps build the correct tone. Overall, Another Me is a quite overlooked masterpiece that is worth your time. I will say it is very hard to find without paying a hefty price for a physical copy. However if you have the 3.99 for a digital copy or go on a bizarre streaming site( and like me, hopefully find a site that can convert the link into a mp4 file), do so as soon as possible.

Perhaps if Coixet (Elegy) had approached Another Me as a family drama instead of a genre exercise, she might have captured its real horrors.

Cinema Crazed

Another Me is a fairly good movie, but a slow burn of a story, the acting saves it from being boring.

Rated: 3/5

Anton Bitel

Projected Figures

plays out all the expected tropes of a doppelgnger film in a dreamy haze, while leaving it for the viewer to decide whether this divided self is a real spectre dogging Fay, or a mere metaphor for her anxieties about coming of age.

The List

Turner is solid, if perhaps miscast, with beguiling screen presence and the strength to (mostly) avoid succumbing to the teeth-gnashing melodrama of her character's situation.

Rated: 3/5
