Follow Her

There are really two movies happening here... Both have their merits, but they don't mesh well.

the final half still racks up tension, landing as a taught morality tale for the TikTok generation.

Follow Her goes off the rails (in the best way possible) soon enough. The film’s commentary on accountability online is razor sharp, cutting deep and leaving long, oozing gashes. It’s a smash of an adventure.

[Dani] Barker and [Luke] Cook give excellent turns in their respective roles while the direction balances the tone meticulously.

Layering subversion upon subversion until it becomes a version of the thing it was subverting in the first place, Follow Her struggles to land the final stretch, but strong performances and writing carry it through.

Follow Her touches on everything from sex work to misogyny, with each dangled topic brushed to the side before any real perspective can even be established.

Smart, with a lot of twists you won't see coming but don't strain credibility.

Follow Her never figures out what to do with its self-referential premise.

The ethical boundaries of social media continually comes up. While never subtle, the issue is relegated to a passing comment or scene. The finale puts everything front and central while leaving anyone watching wondering how far people will go for fame.



Follow Her stands head and shoulders above most of its "social media horror" peers because it doesn’t forget to have fun.
