Sophie Turner has a small role, but it makes a big impact. Her scenes are some of the funniest in the entire film, and shockingly, some of them almost didn’t make the film. Thankfully for us, they did because Do Revenge is better with those crazy Erica scenes.

Another Me (2013)
2013’s Another Me marks Sophie Turner’s film debut. It also stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Claire Forlani, Rhys Ifans, and Gregg Sulkin. It’s a psychological thriller with a potential paranormal twist. Fay (Sophie Turner) starts to see someone who looks like her around her home and school.
She isn’t sure if she’s being paranoid because of her increasingly stressful home life. Fay must figure out if she’s experiencing a mental break or if she really has a doppelgänger stalking her. Another Me is an interesting thriller that falls within the realm of films like Malignant where it isn’t clear if anything is real or the main character’s imagination. Like the Malignant ending, Another Me has a lot to digest and break down.
