Follow Her

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

[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.

It’s muddled and messy in places, but there’s a lot of fun here.

Follow Her should be a breath of fresh air, and a return to a genre that gets little screentime in our current film landscape. Unfortunately, what unfolds instead is a clumsy, incoherent, and heavy-handed attempt to comment on a mountain of issues
