A purported
documentary about an online romance.
Smartly the
creators of this independent movie realized that a mediocre story becomes
something else, something significant, if they pretend that it all happened for
real. Therefore they pretended that this fairly obvious online romance with
hidden surprises it’s the real deal.
It’s fairly
baffling how, to this day, there are people arguing online that it all somehow really
happened. I won’t go into the details because of my No spoilers policy, suffice
to say that if it all happened for real these filmmakers are the luckiest filmmakers
ever. It all happened in front of the cameras, they got the juiciest story
about online dating just by randomly picking some guy.
The movie
itself is kinda boring. It takes forever to get somewhere and all the “revelations”
are just the usual stuff that every sane person would think about online
relationships.
The characters
are also uninteresting and mildly annoying. I know that this is in theory a
documentary but, as “The king of Kong” demonstrated, when you do a doc about
real people they better be interesting persons to watch.
Conclusion:
It’s a nice conversation starter but as a movie is really mediocre.
