The Image of You is a 2024 American psychological thriller film directed by Jeff Fisher and written by Chris Sivertson, based on the novel of the same name by Adele Parks. The film stars Sasha Pieterse and Parker Young, in the lead roles.
It follows the story of two identical twins, who find their bond tested over Anna’s new love, Nick. While the trusting Anna is head over heels, her skeptical sister Zoe senses a web of deceit, so she sets out to discover the truth about Nick. The film was released theatrically and on digital in the United States on May 10, 2024. [1]
Anna and Zoe are identical twins, who share a bond so close that nothing — and no one — can tear them apart. But two twins have very different personalities; while Anna is romantic and trusting, her sister Zoe is daring and dangerous. When Anna meets charismatic Nick, an ambitious stock trader, she thinks he’s perfect. But Zoe, who has seen Anna betrayed by men before, doesn’t trust him. She’s determined to find who Nick really is and discover the truth about him, no matter who stands in the way. As Zoe digs for the truth, they're all pulled into a dangerous game where honesty could prove fatal. [2] [3]
In July 2023, Deadline announced that Republic Pictures has snapped up rights to The Image of You - an adaptation of the same-name novel from UK-based bestseller Adele Parks, which Jeff Fisher directs from a script by Chris Sivertson. [2] Motion Picture Corporation of America's CEO Brad Krevoy with David Wulf and Ernie Barbarash were confirmed as main producers, along with Amanda Phillips, Lorenzo Nardini, Aj Risch and Kaan Karahan also serve as exec producers. Sasha Pieterse was cast in starring dual roles of Anna and Zoe, along with Parker Young in a role of Nick. [4] Néstor Carbonell and Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino were also added to the cast list, in the role of the twins’ wealthy parents, Alexia and David, with Michele Nordin as Nick’s sister, Rebecca. [2] [4]
The Image of You was theatrically released in the United States on May 10, 2024. [5] From the day of the premiere, the film was also available via VOID, [6] followed by digital platforms Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. [7] [8] It had a limited theatrical run and was released in select theaters. [9] [6] [10]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 63% of 8 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.8/10. [11] Will Sayre from MovieWeb gave the film two and a half out of five stars, opining that "The storyline digresses significantly from the hit novel by Parks by the end, but other elements are also responsible for hiccups along the way, such as cheesy stylistic choices on the filmmaking front that almost make this feature film feel like an elongated network TV episode." [12] Kyle Climas of FilmSpeak.net gave the film an average grade of "C" writing that "The Image of You is one of those inexplicable films which becomes more tolerable - or at least, more entertaining - as it becomes more absurd. The actors’ performances, while stilted and clunky at first, improve over time as they embrace the hyperbole." [13] Leslie Felperin from The Guardian gave the film two out of five stars, stating "There’s a bit of soft-core humping and salty talk to break up the tedium, a phenomenon that’s fast disappearing from most mainstream films. The ripe naffness on show makes it somehow entertaining." [14]
