How to ridicule a phenomenon that is already ridiculous in itself? Your best shot is probably to appear serious.
The cast of Influencers are so phony you have hard time deciding if the actors are just phony pretending to be phony or are they striving towards a serious effort. Is it a sordid act of a funny thing or a funny act of a sordid thing? A clue is perhaps Dixie Bell's character: Is it Southern accent or is it a New Yorker faking a Southern accent?
The Commentator side of the cast for its part is overly matter of fact, which is good for a laugh or two.
Which brings us to the second clue: How far out from the real world is professor Schpelnick's character?
Not falling short of the mark, the movie manages to raise a philosophical question of the nature of our very existence. Is it physical or merely digital? Maybe everything just takes place in a simulation software? Are we made of bytes or bits of flesh and bone? I think, therefore I am. Or am I?
