Great, but lacking rewatch value
This movie is based on a twitter story, and that is what people should expect. You basically get video footage, going from tweet to tweet, so I don't really understand why people seem so bothered with either the amount of phone bleeps or the rawness of this film. Yes, we get to see a handful of penises, but it is what it is; if that's what was told in the twitter story, that's what should be in the movie.
The whole twitter meme/drama background makes me more forgiving in the realms of character development too. In this case I didn't seem too bothered with a lack of background for the two protagonists; just like with reading a twitter story, there are people in a situation and I just want to know what happens.
Altogether, this style might not be for everyone, but with having a decent understanding of the whole social media drama and meme environment, I think the executing of this movie has been done very well.
This is not in the last place, thanks to the very fitting soundtrack and the edgy, but never over the top, directing.
The only negative, I would say, is the lack of rewatch value. Possibly also as a result of the aforementioned style of story telling, but despite the beauty of this movie: once you've seen it, you're done with it. - isaacochoterena - 27 April 2022
Not enough suspense
In this movie the script is not strong enough to create a suspenseful story.
The story is slow, but it has a decent development, each character is developed and some situations create a certain mystery, but the direction and the script fail to create an atmosphere of suspense and intrigue, there are even moments when you want to remove the film because there isn't suspense. The climax and the denouement are the most shocking of the film, although those parts gave much more story to exploit, but it simply has a shocking but empty ending since we are left curious about what would happen next. The acting is good, and the way text message dialogues are portrayed reflect the monotony and apathy with which we communicate in that way. I think the plot involves many interesting things but they do not culminate in the same approach, it is understandable since it is a story based on a Twitter posts and that it tried to be as faithful as possible to its origin.
It was boring for me in some parts and I didn't even know where the plot wanted to go, but when it reached the climax many things made sense, still more work was needed on the script and the way this story would be treated.
