Featured reviews
Obviously, this movie was painful and hateable at first. The main character is awful - they tell you that before it even starts. But by the end you just might feel something. She grows, in more ways than you expect. Give it a chance.
I've stopped watching a lot of movies and shows before finishing them, so I know the temptation. This one is worth finishing.

I was expecting a light teen comedy that put a spotlight on the ridiculousness of social media. But it was more than that, especially towards the end. I'm a fan of Zoey Deutch and she did not disappoint. Give it a chance. It really pays off in the end.
I don't understand the bad reviews on this film. This film is representing today's society and explaining that most things on social media is fake and how far people are willing to go to get followers.
We are living in a shallow society and it is sad.
This film picks up on the desperation of this generation.
I think Zoey plays this extremely well.
Some people don't realise the down fall and the negative impact that this can have on you and this film shows how a rise and fall can affect you mentally and personally and it really is such ashame for society and this film explains that.........

Not sure about why there's so much hate here. I get why they make a movie like this. It teaches that likes are often lies or bought. Social media is fake. And also that real relationships are deeper when you make real bonds, and not thru social media.
Zoey Deutch is Danni, a photo editor at an online magazine who more than anything yearns to be well known and held in high regard by the trendy youth of America. She fakes a visit to Paris but when there is terrorist attack there she pretends she survived this and subsequently gains a phenomenal following. She befriends a school shooting survivor, Rowan, who speaks eloquently in public and slowly Danni realises that her life priorities might need reassessing. However her lies start to catch up with her.
Vicious and rather enjoyable black comedy sticking it to fame in general, social media and the millions who blindly follow whatever they're shown. Deutch is excellent in the lead, often funny and ghastly at the same time, yet still managing somehow to gain our sympathy despite her naivity, selfishness and lack of moral compass.

- TriviaDirector Quinn Shepard told IndieWire that they decided to add a disclaimer at the beginning of the film that warns it contains an "unlikable female protagonist" after several people at test screenings asked why they would make a movie with an unlikable woman as the main character. Shepard said it's something she's repeatedly heard in the industry, and a lot of her other writer friends have as well. Though she admitted she didn't understand why since films featuring unlikeable male protagonists are often hailed as modern masterpieces. Audiences understood that those films were "a statement and not an endorsement," so why can't the same apply to women?
