    This may be the perfect vehicle for Aubrey Plaza, as a rather disturbed young lady who stalks her Instagram idol (Elizabeth Olsen), but then they seem to hit it off and become firm friends. It's not going to be that simple, of course. :eek:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I watched this yesterday, I didn't care for it. There is not even one likeable character in it. It's really a satire on today's instagram generation and I already don't like people like that so maybe I was biased from the start.

    Very disappointing, I like Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen and it had some promise at the start but it just peters out in the end. A better script was sorely needed.

    Was cringy disconcerting in spots and there was much I liked about it. Reasonably good critique of the lifestyle blogging phenomenon, suggesting that the seemingly perfect are often the least authentic and vise versa. Raises plenty of contemporary discussion points if watched in a group.

    7/10

    Aubrey Plaza seems like she's being type-cast as the really weird and odd girl in a lot of movies.

    It's a real pity, because she was so good in Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Safety Not Guaranteed, and the underrated Life After Beth.

    Since then it's like she's been in nothing but American Pie-lite style baudy comedies like Dirty Grandpa, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, and The To Do List.

    Just wish she moved away from these.

    I watched this last night, still unsure if I actually like it or not. I found it uncomfortable to watch at times. It's like our social media generation's version of single white female.

    Saw it yesterday and thought it was hilarious. Really enjoyed it.

    Really enjoyed this yesterday. Great humour and cringe-worthy moments in it. I was squirming in my seat during the early portions on the film.

    Aubrey Plaza is very good in it, as is the supporting cast. The Batman obsessed landlord was a hoot.

    "Tell me Gotham needs me," is one of the funniest lines I've heard in a movie this year. It's a film with plenty of amusing moments and a few disturbing moments, but maybe not quite the sum of its parts. Worth a look.
