Jonathan L @RT60060457 1h This movie sucked. I understand that it’s supposed to be a dark satire about influencer culture and the desperate need for validation. But to me, the ending crossed a line from criticizing that obsession to almost validating it. Ingrid spends the entire movie desperately trying to become someone worth noticing. When everything falls apart, she turns her suicide into one final piece of content and the movie shows people watching, reacting, and engaging with it. Maybe the intention was to show how horrifying social media culture has become. But that's not how it felt to me. It felt like the movie was saying, "Even if you fail at everything else, you can still become famous through your death." That’s a pretty fucking awful message. I know it’s satire. I know it’s supposed to be uncomfortable. But if your criticism of influencer culture ends with suicide becoming the ultimate source of clout, I’m not sure what exactly I’m supposed to take away from that. 0/5.

This film serves as a blueprint for many teen suicides See more Elvis P @RT88584469 Apr 18 Interesting subject that reflects the current society. Good actres and actors that support in a black comedy the reality. See more Bucky R @Bucky3085 Mar 18 Plaza may be typecast at this point, but it's cuz she's good at this kind of character. The movie finds its way in the second half. See more D P @RT45936356 Jan 24 Okay, but I was actually expecting a more dramatic or clever ending. The ending was a bit pathetic. I was thinking "You" or "Saltburn", and then the main character just wilted. But I stayed tuned. It kept me watching. I just wanted more from the main character. It was like she was almost a sociopath, but then she just couldn't go all the way with the sociopathy. It's very much like a real person, but that doesn't make good TV.
