Follow Her

A modern thriller that takes you into the world of social media influencers. The double lives influencers live, that leads them into a world where nothing is what it seems. The logo of the social media platform "Live Hive" in the film is better than the social platforms we currently use. The film draws you into the characters world. It has a Hitchcockian vibe that keeps you engaged and keeps you guessing. The characters in this movie are intriguing because they are morally corrupt. This movie makes you question how far is to far when your whole existence is centered around likes and shares. Good Friday night movie.

It's hard to find a genuinely good indie film sometimes, but Follow Her was a great time. Incredibly well-acted by both leads, and is perfectly tailored for the millennials and gen zs.

Takes some crazy twists and the ending is nuts.

Makes some good points about personal privacy in the Information Age where everyone is filmed at all times and people live their lives for the likes.

Creepy and suspenseful and at times incredibly funny.

Honestly I would've paid to see this in theatres it was way higher in quality than typical indie films. The ending was ambiguous which is my favourite kind of ending. WATCH IT.

There's quite a clever line in 'Follow Her' where the lead female character says something to the effect of, "the man can't just turn out to the killer, we've seen that in a thousand movies before." And it made me take pause, because the movie was seemingly being self-aware. But what it was really doing was making us realise everything can't be as straight forward as it would appear. So instead of just going along for the ride and thinking you know exactly how this will all pan out, you are suddenly aware of the potential for plot twists and turns, and you become a lot more invested in the movie for that reason.

And from there out the film does its best to surprise us and catch us out. The film certainly doesn't fail from lack of trying. It throws as much at the wall as it can and just enough sticks to keep it afloat. The only thing that lets it down is that it never quite delivers that knock out blow that leaves your jaw on the floor. Still, if you're in the mood for a switch-off-brain thriller then you could do much worse than 'Follow Her'. 6/10.

I guess this film was taking a swing at influencers and content creators and the Tik Tok generation. Also how people chase a dream regardless of how broken it is. It was trying to show there are real world consequences for narcissism I think.

The film ran out of steam once Jess meets her client Tom. It's really hard to carry a film with two characters in a single location. SLEUTH is one of the few stories to carry off that kind of intensity and FOLLOW HER didn't.

The big reveal shook things up but ultimately didn't go anywhere and the ending was predictable.

In the end, FOLLOW HER is a slew of ideas that fail to come together as a cohesive concept.

I have seen this film twice, and both time I caught something new. It seems straightforward and starts out that way, but after about twenty minutes, you'll realize that this movie has some great twists and turns. I don't want to spoil this film but there are some great questions that other films will ask but never have a pay off. Not only does this film propose some insightful comments on the social media culture but provides some direct opinions on how members of this community act (responsibly and irresponsily). Furthermore the actor who portrays Tom have an incredible range and talent. This film truly highlights his skill set and I can see him doing much bigger films in the near future! The actress portrays the vapidness of a social media influencer, perfectly. When you combine these the alchemy of the film really comes together! I felt that the Director did an amazing job making these performances shine! This is a great film to watch if you are in the mood for a great suspensful thriller. (It's not a slasher/horror film as some of the other reviewers might have confused it with, so a heads up on what to expect!). Overall, it's worth your time to check it out, I know you won't be disasspointed.
