Alicia I love this movie so much

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Robert J. Maxwell The director, Isabel Coixet, has lent the images a peculiar texture. Half the film seems to involve panes of glass, the shiny walls of elevators, or mirrors of one sort or another. If possible they're fogged up or their transparency is lessened by patches of raindrops. Like the heroine, Sophie Turner, you're sometimes not sure of what you're seeing. But, thank God, no directorial razzle dazzle. The camera moves only when it should and there are few whiz-bangs on the sound track.Turner is a teen-ager in a British school. Her taciturn father is bound to a wheelchair. Her mother, she discovers, is having an affair with one of the school's teachers.The central theme is that Turner feels a Doppelgänger is following her about, sometimes taking her place at home or elsewhere. You have to love the idea of the double, someone who looks enough like you to confuse others. It goes back to Edgar Allan Poe and comes down to us through various channels. Any theme that is so popular can't be all bad.I once had a call from someone with exactly my name who lived near me in Philadelphia, complaining that he was getting midnight phone calls from my friends and asking me to tell them to stop it. I felt compelled to ask the guy out for dinner and he was my age, resembled me in his somatotype, and, indeed, was "Robert John Maxwell, Ph.D.," just as the midnight callers had asked, only he was a chemist not an anthropologist. I couldn't take my eyes off the guy at the restaurant. If he lifted a forkful of food, I followed it. Eerie, I'll tell you.Well -- I see I went slightly off the track there, but if I had a Doppelgänger like Poe's "William Wilson," he'd have reined me in pronto.The treatment of the story seems kind of sluggish at times. And I don't think it's all that well written. Sometimes it seemed as if the writers didn't know exactly where they wanted the story to go. Yes, Sophie Turner could be imagining things. As a counselor tells her, she has a crippled father, and "sometimes a trauma induces another trauma," whatever that means. But then again, others see this double too at times. So Turner can't be imagining her experiences. Then her mother tells her that she'd had an identical twin who died and was buried. Where the hell did that come, and why? We find out at the end, but the end makes no sense. It's as if the writers had thrown up their hands and simply given up.That's too bad because, as I say, it's a juicy and fruitful theme. Alfred Hitchcock did a marvelous job with it on one of this television programs, "The Case of Mister Pelham." There was no more logic to it than in this film but the ending was satisfying because it was a reasonable culmination of everything that had happened before. Sadly, that sense of completion is missing here.

Claudio Carvalho The relationship of the teenager Fay Delussey (Sophie Turner) with her family is deeply affected when her beloved father Don (Rhys Ifans) has multiple sclerosis and her mother Ann (Claire Forlani) starts a love affair. Her teacher John (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) invites Fay to perform the important role of Lady Macbeth in a school play and her schoolmate Monica Meldrum (Charlotte Vega) is jealous of her with the choice. Soon strange events happen to Fay and she believes that Monica is the responsible for the acts. But her father discloses a family secret about his ghost daughter. "Another Me" is a slow-paced, boring and predictable ghost story. This is not the usual genre of the great director Isabel Coixet from "My Life Without Me", "The Secret Life of Words" and "Elegy". Despite the great cast, director and cinematography, the flawed plot does not help the performances. Why Fay's doppelganger decides to haunt her after so many years? How her father could know that Fay should not look at her face? Why Fay insisted to meet her doppelganger after her father's advice? The conclusion is totally predictable. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Meu Outro Eu" ("My other Me")

GomezAddams666 I get the concept of Doppelgangers, like 1997's Pafekuto Buru (Perfect Blue), and it's sort of inspired American Adaptation Black Swan.I get the concept of missing siblings as in like The Tale Of Two Sisters, Uninvited, The Unborn.And this movie tried (and failed amazingly) to use these concepts to sell a horror-like thriller, but the result was a very predictable, horrible, boring movie.It's not like these concepts were badly executed is that the movie is painfully draggy, like every scene seems to last 2 hrs longer than it actually does. A bit of a more character developing, a more emotionally deep relationship of Faye and her boyfriend, a deeper rivalry with her competitor... even a flying dog for god's sakes... ANYTHING to turn this slow-slow paced movie into something not boring as in "what the hell was I thinking watching this?" boring.A great cast, great performances (with the little they were given), great photography, and a mediocre underdeveloped ghost story that wouldn't frighten or even surprise a kitten.Avoid at all cost.

chrismackey1972 Faye's (Sophie Turner) dad is dying, and she's able to get the lead in the school play. Johnathon Rhys Meyers plays her acting teacher and Claire Forlani plays her mother. One day while walking down a school hallway, the lights go out and someone starts running after her. She runs into a lit hallway screaming. She later starts to think her understudy - Monica - who wanted to play the lead is the one frightening her. As she's being driven home one night, she sees a girl standing on the side of the street, and it's an exact look-alike of her. She doesn't pay much attention to it. Apparently, she has problems going up the elevator because she tends to freak out. After she gets home, her mom goes out with "the girls." However, her mom goes into a car in the back alley and proceeds to have sex (no nudity shown) with a guy. Bad mom! Shocker: Faye's doppelganger is right up to the car looking inside.The next day, Faye tells bad mom about her look-alike being seen all over. Bad mom confesses that Faye had a twin who died years ago. Faye starts getting visions. One of the visions is that her acting teacher is also the guy who was having an affair with bad mom. Bad teacher! Faye gets into a fight with Monica because she think Monica is the one impersonating her. Faye tells bad mom she knows about the affair, and she wants bad mom to break up with bad teacher. Bad mom agrees. Meanwhile, Faye begins her own affair with...some guy in the movie, I don't recall his name (no nudity is shown).It turns out that bad mom didn't really end the affair with bad teacher. One night, a girl - probably bad Faye - threw a rock through the windshield of bad teacher's car when bad mom was in there. She went home with a headache, however, teacher went to the hospital.Ugh! I'm done with this review! The movie was boring as all heck. This review, as bad as it is, is probably more entertaining than the 80 minutes you'll waste on this movie. If you wanna tune in just to see Sophie Turner, download a picture. I do NOT recommend.
