Review: Catfish

Catfish
If you want to get the best out of Catfish, stop reading this review immediately and just go see it - it's in cinemas and available to watch online now. The movie's marketing team know an enigmatic approach is key, as its ads suggest you "don't let anyone tell you what it is" a la Psycho - the first hint you're in for a surprise that's nasty and nice in equal measure.

Listened to your advice Ali, I stopped reading the review, waited a few months and watched it.

First 20 mins were a real struggle. Wanted to turn it off a few times. But deeply inside I knew that Ali would not recommend something either A) shitty, or B) not including boobs. Since it has no boobs, so I waited. And hell, it was worth it.

From 1/3 of the movie, tension is raising exponentially.
So fucking disturbing movie. I even don't want to know if it's real, semi-real, or complete fake. Thanks.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that in the very first scene, Nev is talking having a big poster from Poland behind his back. It adds +5 to overall disturbance of the movie.

Interesting at the start, really uncomfortable in the middle, sad at the end, engrossing right the way through. It needs to be watched.
