This "movie" is garbage. But not just garbage, hot garbage served in a dirty ashtray
All of the 9 and 10 reviews appear to be fake. I clicked on nearly a dozen users who gave this a 9 or 10 and they all have ONE review and all the accounts are exactly 2 months old. What a joke.
I assume these are paid for or are from people who were part of the production. If a real human watched this and gave it a 9 or 10, they are either reviewing the wrong movie or they are write fake (probably paid) reviews.
The acting here is bad, like horribly bad. Very wooden and stilted. Like regular everyday people reading unfamiliar text aloud.
There are also some pretty major plot holes like how did the 'bad guys' discover who was doing the catfishing?
I'll admit, I didn't necessarily see the ending coming but I won't spoil it for anyone dying to see this, good luck. It's painful to watch.
The movie is supposed to be about a girl who cat fishes men to buy her gifts in exchange for photos / videos. But that whole part of the movie is almost inconsequential and very thinly explored.
Also, if you're getting ready to buy a gift for some hot girl online, try doing a simple reverse image search and see if someone is sending you stock or stolen photos. You can probably save yourself a lot of money.

Don't listen to the naysayers. This movie has plenty about it to like. It's a little bit too long and the dialog could be better but it has a great score, so nice shots and a cool payoff... even if a little predictable. I liked it.
Script is poor - meanders and is scattered.
Acting is really poor - definitely feels like first timers or non-actors.
Silver lining is this film make me feel like I could be an actor too!

Had fun watching this one. You can tell the filmmakers put a lot of work into it. It has its shortcomings...mostly on the budget side though they got good production value out of what they had. Some of the shots are beautiful if inconsistent.
If you are too stuck up to give independent films a chance then perhaps you should pass on this one but for me it harkens back to the days of mid 80s cinema. Who doesn't like movies from that era?
The acting is fine. Better than most low-budget productions. In particular, the woman who plays Mrs. Roberts does some nice work here. The actress that plays Clara is also very good for the most part and Kimmy almost steals the movie...until... well that would be telling.
It probably could have used a trim or 2 here and there but I never felt bored with it. Like the movie "Coherence", another good Indie Flick, it all came together by the end and then the length of the whole affair really didn't bother me.
I look forward to seeing what these filmmakers do in the future if they keep it up.

I looked at the previews and the storyline looked pretty good. Seventeen minutes in I shut it off. The acting is horrible and embarrassing, and I was watching it alone! I don't understand how people kept the movie on. I want my 17 minutes back! 😩
