After watching this movie I had something I sometimes have: I just couldn't get into it or was the movie simply not interesting enough?
It came across to me as if the filmmakers really wanted to surprise with all sorts of twists all the time. But once you get the hang of the trick, the rest of the movie is actually quite predictable.
There were also clearly a number of checkboxes that had to be checked. Someone with a disability, the 'gay friend' of color, men are creeps... So exhausting. Fortunately, later in the film it wasn't too bad.
It is 2022/2023, so in addition to social media, there has also been some cycling with deepfakes.
The images did look good at times and the soundtrack did its job, but after a while it also became very repetitive. A long build-up and then suddenly silent; after three times it is not special anymore.
Don't know. The trailer must also have given away too much, so I knew which way it was going to go. So if you want to watch this one, I advise you to go in blank.
The subtitles were sufficient, but sometimes very literal ("Your loss" = "Your loss"? "You know, ..." > "Do you know, ...") and much too verbatim, making you more reader than viewer, do you want to keep track of it all. Well, it could have been worse.
6/10

I was curious about this movie, but unfortunately it didn't quite live up to it.
A girl (CW) with a large birthmark actually wants the attention that all those influencers do have. So she tries to become friends with every influencer who comes to the island. Eventually she dumps them on a deserted island and takes over their account. That apparently goes well, until she drops Madison on the island. Before she was dropped she told her boyfriend that she wanted to break up with her, so he decided to go to Thailand to win her heart again. CW hadn't counted on this and now she has to deal with him.
I thought the story was quite original, but the execution was mediocre and not always interesting. You also saw many things coming, because the film explicitly points them out to you. Visually it was fine and actors didn't do very bad either. Cassandra Naud (beautiful woman by the way) came across as really creepy at times. I was sometimes annoyed by the score in the film. Sometimes you heard the dialogues very badly, because the music was just louder.
The ending was pretty predictable, but satisfying
Nice for once, but don't expect too much from it. 2.5 stars.

Well, this one was the best. Again a bad guy...... eeeh girl who is sometimes too good but still some surprising twists that stand in the way of a happy one. Not horror but wanted to make sure how it would end.
