Advance Review: Catfish

The marketing for this movie make it look like a horror film. With the creepy music at the end, the quotes comparing it to Hitchcock and other mystery films...they're all wrong.

The film does take on you a twisted road that you didn't expect when you started the film, none of them expected it while they were filming! But it is definitely not a horror or even a suspense film. It's a telling portrayal of relationships in the internet/social media era.

This is a great film that you should watch without knowing anything more about it. Avoid more trailers and TV commercials for it if you can, because they'll just lead to you expect something else entirely. Nev is a relatable, charasmatic lead for this story about facebook, friendship, and relationships. You never know who you can trust, even when you share everything with them.

Catfish opens today along with Easy A, The Town, Never Let Me Go, and Devil. While this won't be opening at number one in such a crowded market, it is definitely worth checking out.
