Follow Her

I dislike social media and the hellscape we've created in it's wake... but this movie was so boring and poorly acted. The only redeeming character was the cat. The movie does little to expand on the vapid people (the royal) we've become in the quest for stardom and likes. There are many Black Mirror episodes that masterfully comment on many aspects of what this movie aims for but misses. It's supposed to be meta within meta but it's just insipid. The dialog and plot points are so dull, and made even worse by all of the 'recaps' within the movie. Did i mention i liked the cat? Poor thing, i hope it can still find work after being associated with this movie...

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 watched this film online because I was tired of giant movies and super stars. I wanted to watch something while eating lunch in the afternoon, so I chose a random movie that appeared to be low-budget and whose actors were unknown and not among the elite stars...but the movie was very good.

Well made independent movie. If you like 'Black Mirrir' this was a little bit close to that, especially with the digital age with social media obsession.

The acting of the two main characters was excellent, and the plot is intriguing; you simply cannot predict what will happen next... The lead female character says : "the man can't just turn out to the killer, we've seen that in a thousand movies before." So you can't really know the... .... .. . Well, I won't spoil the events; The ending was ambiguous, You can't really tell what her last choice was.

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

The message here is: if you carry it too far, it will lead to consequences. Well: 6/10.

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.

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.
