Cam (Daniel Goldhaber, November 16, 2018)

Out on Netflix now.

 

Excited to watch this weekend, trailer looks great

 

Whoaaa this rules!

 

I did not like this

 

The editing and the way it is used to create tension is unreal.

 

ooohhh this looks very up my alley

 

I’ve read a lot of the praise this is getting and I just don’t get it. The editing was consistently poor, the colour correcting was obnoxious, all the performances besides the lead were awful, the script was clunky. That’s just the technical stuff — I think it also implies some pretty tasteless stuff about the sex industry (despite being written by a former sex worker). I don’t know, man

 

V excited to watch this tn

 

This was incredible

Thought it was entirely unique and incredibly unnerving. It managed to be sympathetic to the industry and never condescending while still encapsulating the capacity to lose onseself in the pursuit of fame and affection

 

I turned this lil gem on last night when we were bored and looking for something to watch, and tonight I’m having friends over to force them all to watch it. Absolutely loved it, the colors in it are insane

 

@Shrek

 

yeah.....this movie fucks. The way its shot and edited are SO GOOD, as is the world building. Narrative arc wasn't quite everything I wanted (that ending, woof), but when all of the other elements are so good and interesting, it gets a pass in my book. a treat.

 

I'm so incredibly reminded of the show Wilfred by this, in that it does a good job of cultivating suspense and mystery, but its own internal logic necessitates a really, really fucking lame resolution (relative to the build-up, at least). That entire ending gargled a bag.

Also, if this virus/program/bot/thing has copied multiple girls on multiple sites, how is it that FGL and all the other girls are completely unaware of it? Alice couldn't possibly have been the first one to call customer service with that exact complaint. Am I nitpicking, or is that a legitimate plot hole?

 

I can understand some of the complaints about this movie but I really enjoyed it. Something about it made it very unsettling and creeped me out bad.

 

This was frustrating

 

I really enjoyed this.

 

Lol just like Apostle takes for this are all over the place, and I still haven’t seen either.

 

I think theres no denying that the ending leaves something to be desired, so it depends how down you are with all of the other elements of the film.

 

Thought this was great. The reveal was kinda anti climatic but the build up was intense.

 

I like reading all kinds of takes. Honestly I enjoyed it but definitely thought the acting was a little bad and the script was cheesy. but I liked it overall. The ending was also pretty wtf but idk. I don't feel too strongly either way towards it, but it seems people have otherwise strong opinions about it
