The main thing is that it's objectively a good movie: the acting is good, the movie looks like it was made for Instagram (obviously, the point), the issues raised here are very relevant nowadays. To sum it up, it is a good movie.Still, I cannot say I will ever want to watch it again or that I enjoyed it that much in the first place. The reason for that (my incredibly subjective reason) is that there is nothing that revealing. The issues raised in the movie (loneliness, social media addiction, its shallowness, and the users' search for that shallowness and faux perfection) are all "right", they are all serious problems able to ruin lives or at least distort your view of life. However, most of us clearly understand it, and thus the plot was perfectly predictable because it's a mirror of the current situation in the world - how can it not be predictable? Summing it up, despite all the highs of the movie, to me, it looked like a high schooler's moralistic essay: all the right thoughts, all the right intentions, but far from being as non-conformist or groundbreaking and revealing as the author believes.

After Ingrid Thorburn crashes a wedding and creates an ugly scene, she spends some time in a facility on medication. On her release she uses her inheritance from her recently deceased mother to relocate to California where she cyberstalks minor Instagram celebrity Taylor Sloane. She steals Taylor's dog in order to gain an introduction by having "found it" - she has modelled herself by reference to Taylor's postings by now. Her obsession grows up to the point where Taylor's brother may have found her out.The trailer gives the impression that this is a comedy. There are some amusing moments, but this is more disturbing than funny.On one level, this is a salutary comment on the inadvisability of living your life via social media, the artificiality of online personae, and the shallowness and glibness of online status updates. The fashion for posting photographs of your meals, "profound" epigrams, social climbing via status - all are targeted in passing.On another level, though, this is a portrait of a very disturbed, and disturbing young woman. She is someone who is unable to live her life other than by reference to someone else, is in denial about that fact, and doesn't understand why she is doing it anyway.I like Aubrey Plaza who plays Ingrid, and produced this film. Her previous comedic work gives little indication of her ability to play a character like Ingrid: repellent, attractive, just a little bit off in her interactions with the world, and terribly, terribly sad. She is terrific in this. Elizabeth Olsen plays the rather thankless part of Taylor, superficially nice and attractive, but actually shallow, selfish and insensitive and, ultimately, a good deal less likeable than Ingrid.The only character who comes out really sympathetically is Ingrid's landlord Dan (O'Shea Jackson Jr) who, apart from an unusual (but, in my view, wholly understandable) preoccupation with Batman, is a genuinely nice person.Based on the trailer, I expected to like this as it was going along rather more than I did. However, it left a far greater impression on me than I expected.

While this movie might end up looking obsolete in a few years depending on where technology goes, sociologically, it's damn on point and prescient. Not so much funny as dark and disturbing, it did a good job of showing how empty everyone was, even the so-called "heroes." The ending was a nice touch as well.

If you didn't like this movie you just don't get comedy. Period. No need to come bash the movie because you didn't get it. You weren't it's target audience and had no business watching it from the beginning. God forbid a comedy shake up your perception of the world, or make you feel uncomfortable in your 'safe space'. Go watch whatever bland, middle of the road comedy that everyone is quoting these days.
