This movie shows what can happen when you stand up for the truth and your point of view -- the good and the bad results. You become ostracized and demonized for pointing out what's wrong with things because no one wants to hear it. They'd rather stay deluded and comfortable in their oppression. This is why evil dominates society.
Kudos to making a movie with the guts to tell the truth.
Also, just because you don't like a movie, doesn't mean everyone else who did like it is 'fake.' Lol at the ignorance of a statement like that.

Came across this movie last night and started watching out of curiosity and loved it! Very realistic feel due to the handheld camera style juxtaposed with super high quality news scenes. Loved the writing and related to the main character A LOT. Excellent commentary on what is happening politically right now. Could have used some more excitement but still holds your attention with a nice surprise (and not so surprising) ending.
I had the chance to see this movie at the New York premiere and I gotta say, I've never seen anything like it. The movie has a Fight Club-ish feel but what's cooler than that is the soundtrack came first when the guy wrote it, so the music is a major component... like Pink Floyd The Wall but more movie than music video.
Very cool, very deep movie about the power of social media to expose what's really going on behind the scenes in politics. Highly recommended.

Never saw a film quite like this before. Favorite part was the writing. The lead character goes off about everything in a super deep way. Gotta watch again just to catch everything.
I saw the link to this move on a political forum and the person who posted it was asking for everyone to attack it. I guess it "triggered" some people lol.
Especially for the first movie from this director, I thought it was great. It is quite risky to put a film out with such direct political viewpoints but I think those viewpoints were very 'center' and things everyone can relate to. As far as the style of the movie, I thought it was cool how there were music videos laced throughout and the crazy 'Natural Born Killers' type of flashy editing.
A solid 9 for me for daring to do something different.
