amh-98307 This film is not a light fluffy take on social media addiction--it gets creepy and heavy at times, but through a darkly comedic lens. The characters have complexity and depth, and have sympathetic qualities without being blameless. It is very relatable to younger generations, and shows how damaging taking social media personas so seriously can be. My only quibble is I wish the characters' epiphanies could have been more fleshed out. 10 stars go out to O'Shea Jackson, who gave such relief with his absolutely lovable character.
referencegirl Plaza nails a relatable and brutally honest pathology of the emptiness of online social networking. There is just enough comedy to get viewers through hard to watch moments. Well done.
mond_und_sterne The plot already says all about the film: An unhinged social media stalker moves to LA and insinuates herself into the life of an Instagram star. After watching half of the movie I did not want to continue. For me it is not funny. It tries to, but isn't. The plot is flat, quite predictable. Seems to be a story about what happens often since social media got that popular. And I have to admit I usually do not like to see a movie about what I can see all the day around me.
Howlin Wolf "The King of Comedy", for the digital age.In a social media world where the currency of cool lies not just in dreaming it, but in BEING it... we can all front like we're Batman.I have serious issues with both the beginning, and the end, though... Cutting out the pre-credits sequence would not only allow us to feel more sympathy for Ingrid, given that it's the only directly violent act we see her perpetrate in the whole film - but it would also keep us more off balance as to how far she's willing to go, once events begin to spiral...As for the ending - isn't that just giving her everything she wants?! Perhaps the point it was making was that nothing can completely disbar somebody from becoming 'famous'... but the optimist in me was hoping for a mini-redemptive arc for Ingrid, and a glimpse that she was on the path toward learning to like herself... Oh, well.
