Si j'étais toi (The Secret) - 7 stars out of 10

Si j'étais toi (The Secret) - 7 stars out of 10

This movie is... weird.  The entire concept is just so strange but perfectly executed by Olivia Thirlby.  She puts forth an incredibly convincing performance as she transforms from an "adult" into a teenager.  Once her identity is changed, she portrays her character exactly as Lili Taylor would have, thoroughly convincing the viewer that it is a new person in her body.  The 7 star rating primarily comes from Thirlby's amazing performance.  David Duchovny is okay and the rest of the actors are average, but strong dialogue drives the plot and draws attention away from the impossibility of the plot.
