I don't know why they wanted to make it a fantasy movie towards the end. This documentary would've been something good if they just stuck to making it a doc. Talk about the business, talk about the psychology behind it, the lonely guys that these women prey on. Do some interviews with people in the same fetish industry, some interviews with the clients if they wanna be blurred and modulated.

I feel like this was such a waste making it a kidnap movie like wtf lol. I watched this thinking it was a documentary about the underbelly and the psychology of this fetish industry, it was far from that. Just a guy having sex with 2 girls and fake kidnapping. 5/10

I read somewhere this is a documentary but it isn't. This is basically trying to promote a nobody to mainstream. She's not interesting and rather boring. Zero charisma. Just another young body with a face that looks pretty with makeup. They take "real" bits about some cam girl and add fiction to make it seem legit. Kind of like how "reality" tv is made. And if you're hoping to see this cam girl fully naked then don't waste your time with this. You'll see some footage of her cam sessions where she's wearing lingerie whilst posing in a sexually suggestive manner and that's about it.

2 stars because it does show a little (very little) into this fetish. Horrible plot that took about 15 minutes into the film to see where it was going.

Ms. Lynch should stick to cam shows and phone sex role plays, because this is played out horribly via a movie/documentary or whatever you want to call it.

While everybody has different tastes in movies, it's easy to see 10 star reviews for a movie I find borderline unwatchable. However, there simply is no way in this world that all of the 5 star reviews are legitimate.

Only part that made you think is when Ceara was talking about using men/financial domination and she even makes the point that she is not sure she is really using the men since they are getting what they want and basically telling her what to do and then paying her for that service, so maybe she is the one getting used.

Of course that is pretty much how everything sexual works when two (or more) consenting adults are involved, so nothing mind blowing. And there is nothing riveting where the lines are blurred between reality and fiction. It's painfully obvious.

It's the worst type of film.It is somehow elitist while being gaudy and cheap. It is pretentious but the confidence emanates from entitlement. Talent is assumed not earned or revealed. The plot is chaos without point, cohesion or a flicker of creativity. Watching this is like being around a gaggle of teenagers, giggling and shrieking while telling a story that they assume to be a riot but is just noise that goes on endlessly, way past the time you can maintain your polite smile.

Could have been great as the subject is fascinating, just a shame the director is a narcissistic that has to make the movie about himself.

Well, at least the Catfish film was well crafted even if it was BS.

Pretty much knew this was fake straight off but other obvious tells. So, the bill for bottle service in Vegas like almost matches the funds raised to the dollar? (If there really was a kickstarter)

Also, don't cast someone recognizable as the poor 'schmuck' who was scared of her ruining his life. This guy was married to Shannon Elizabeth from American Pie.

Also, why are these other women in the industry say she's psycho on film. Makes no sense.

Ciara and Julian take us through a fun journey through findom from the eyes of the talent. Eye opening, insightful film about the dangers adult performers can face when the fantasy goes too far.

I really wanted this to be a good project. It could have been a reality based docudrama, but it just went no where.

To see the dozens of 10/10 ratings from brand new, one review only viewers must have been very expensive to pay all those shills. (Or maybe they were all paid by Ceara in Skype videos.)

Don't waste your time.

Julian Shaw and Ceara Lynch have collaborated on a film with surprising twists and turns. It gives a view into a world few of us are aware even exists, the world of Financial Domination. Ceara portrays herself and her lifestyle, where she brings her clients' unique fetishes to life.

It's part documentary, part fiction, and a compelling drama with a shocking twist at the end. There are a couple great cameo appearances that fans of the genre will recognize right away, who are not listed here in the credits.

Fiction always has some root in reality. You are left wondering throughout the film whether some of these things actually happened to Julian outside the intended story, for they would be hard to make up.

This is definitely worth watching. You'll end up contemplating what you saw for a long time after the credits roll.

As a viewer, the thrilling part of experiencing this film is trying to ascertain where the line of reality begins and where the fiction ends. Particularly when many players in the fetish scene make cameo appearances and footage from the annual Las Vegas sex expo is integrated into the story. "These characters are kind of ourselves, or like the dark sides of ourselves" explains Shaw. "Even these fictionalised versions of ourselves come from some place of truth and I've just greatly blown it up for dramatic effect"

A great insight into the realm of financial domination and its assorted fetish offshoots, coupled with the thrilling story line, I found it very entertaining. Fans of erotically charged drama will enjoy the series of plot twists, though I was surprised by the course of the overall movie.

Ceara is stunningly gorgeous, perfect in her role, and Julian truly relishes his (envied) role. While I admit, this may not be the movie for the masses, but having experienced the rush of this particular fetish myself ,made this must watch media. I was literally on the edge of my seat for the last several minutes.

a worthwhile 90 minutes to say the least.

Pretentious, poorly-acted (if you call this acting), unlikable characters, not the least bit sexy and just pure garbage. Not worth your time to watch...hardly worth my time to review.

Absolutely loved the overall representation of all characters. Ceara plays her role with absolute conviction - making you strongly desire her and wishing her in your life too!

"Use Me" is the latest film from director Julian Shaw. It's a riveting post-truth docudrama with strong character development, and an attention commanding backstory.

This is the first film I have watched this year that truly made me forget about my theater-seat-posture induced back pain, and transported me into an exhilarating world of addiction, submission, control, and mind-bending plot curveballs. Plot enhancing clues are sprinkled throughout the movie and the ending is truly a masterpiece in high-voltage drama.

Don't believe the one person saying this movie sucked. Obviously no taste, class, or inspiration for a creative story. And is clearly a cuck to some "hooker" (lashing out in shame for their humiliating kinks). This movie will make you reflect and question your own debaucherous habits. The cinematography will leave wondering what was real and what is actually real. An accomplished fictionalized docudrama.

A movie that seemlessly blends fantasy and reality. Thrilling and fascinating right till the end.

Unexpected. Eye opening. Sexy. Dirty. Intense. Twisted. And oh so engaging.

There are so many moments you think "Oh I've figured the ending out"....

but... No, no, you haven't.

The whole cast is brilliant! Great story line, had me completely guessing what was going to happen next. Love the blurred line between what is fact and what maybe fiction.

I would recommend this to everyone who loves a good drama thriller!

I'm at a place in my life where I don't get to see many movies and when I do, they bore me fairly easily. Use Me was a movie that kept me enthralled and engaged until the last frame. It's style and plot are obviously well thought out and, maybe more importantly, well executed. I highly recommend this movie. If you have a chance to screen it, do it!!

My attention is not easily held. During most movies I find myself checking my phone to see how much longer I have to sit through it. This movie is riveting! Fascinating subject matter that blurs the line between reality and fiction. While I don't think this movie is for everyone, fans of erotic thriller movies will be very happy.
