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...

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.

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.

These social media-based horror flicks are a dime a dozen out there, and most of them are pretty bad. Also undesirable, is watching a movie where you have to sit and watch someone use social media or similar devices, like texting, streaming, or hacking. It can really be a dull and snoozy experience. With all that said, and all these potential stacks against being something good, this one does enough things right that it is actually quite a fun little romp through the genre. It doesn't spend too much time on any one concept, but its rotating plot devices are just there with good-enough acting, and you take it at face value, curious as to what comes next. We even get an outhouse scene, so of course I added a star for that. Couple of witless tropes work ok in this context (meet up with some unknown dude in the middle of the Blair Witch woods) The over-all message is again pointing out behavior that a social media lieutenant is willing to undertake for success or money, which can (and probably should) lead to their downfall.
