Catfish (2010)
Director: Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman
Writer: N/A
Cast: Yaniv Schulman, Ariel Schulman, Megan Faccio
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Synopsis: An obnoxious group of New York filmmakers discover that their buddy's internet girlfriend isn't exactly who she claims to be.
Thoughts: Although the film has been marketed as a Paranormal Activity-style horror flick, Catfish is actually a documentary about a startling discovery one naive twenty-something makes during an extended and frequently steamy online relationship. The heart of the picture arrives once the filmmakers embark on an ill-fated road trip, one that seems to have a deep and profound effect on everyone involved. Unfortunately, the film may never find its audience, as those who would enjoy it most will no doubt be turned off by its shamelessly misleading marketing campaign. What a pity.
Recipe For Success: An Unexpected Amount of Heart + Watching Hipsters Squirm + People on Facebook Are Crazy. All of Them.
