Think of being in a form of full immersive whole body facetime in a single windowless room with no way out, you arrive with no knowledge of how you got there or why, Everything you do is voluntarily "shared" to get "likes" to recieve benefits to either "buy" stuff to make your room better equipped, or to get better foods and drinks as well as clothing. Every "player" starts the same in thier basic underwear with nothing else and they must figure out how to use the interface to find others and get the perks, or find a way out. There are "glitches" which when used can wreak havok or sooth, but to use one, you take a chance as to it's actual beneit or terror. There is a punishment for non-compliance as well which can be deadly. Looks very much like what a tyrannical global government would do to keep the people under control, monitored and eliminate undesireables at the same time and it could all be run by AI. Quite terrifying if you think it out...Nothing questionable, partial nudity, some foul language and some graphic terror. Enjoy!

Share? Surprised me. I almost turned it off several times due to its inane stupidity. I would call it satire more than a thriller. There isn't all that much thrill to it, but it takes very clear jabs at social media, social media addiction, and caricatures. The visual effects were laughable, the characters were stereotypical, and I didn't find any of it particularly funny or even really sci-fi related apart from the use of computers that were big in the 1980's.

I have seen far worse movies, though. This indie film was simply shot; the camera never moves. There are no shaky-cam shots, jump scares, explosions, or lens flares.

I'm actually glad for that, because they have enough trouble managing actual fire.

A lot is left unexplained but as this film seems message-focused, most people will just glaze over the lack of clarity.

Sadly, in my opinion, the film also blew its landing. People gained power and promptly abused it, as everyone knows they would. I won't spoil it for those who choose to watch it. I'll just say that it ultimately disappointed me.

...might have been a better title. I appreciated this familiar thriller set in the near future, or now? It's easy to imagine or as the filmmaker not so subtly points out IS happening to us now. I could personally relate to the thrill of getting clicks and putting off more important things in my life but for what? Are we really living when we operate in this kind of void?

I also appreciated the simplicity of the setting and system by which the filmmaker brings us into this bleak and sterile world fulled by external forces, a faceless and relentless pressure to produce more and more and more - but for what? I'm looking forward to more films by this up and coming director writer.

...for social media. I feel like I'm using this expression more and more lately but it's a mile wide and an inch deep. I'm so sick of movies that attempt be deep, and mysterious with complex metaphors, but end up just being pretentious and insultingly simple. When writers and directors don't trust their audience to read deeper into meanings and feel like they have to spell it all out, it really tests my ability to not roll my eyes throughout the entire movie. I gave it four stars because, while I had it figured out literally five minutes in, it was still mildly entertaining. I hope the makers of this film didn't cut themselves on the edge.
