Catfish (2010)



Genre: Documentaries

Average Netflix Rating: 3.4 Stars

Synopsis: Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman document the strange series of events that unfolds when a gifted 8-year-old artist named Abby contacts Nev, a 24-year-old photographer (and Schulman's brother), through Facebook. After Abby sends Nev a remarkable painting based on one of his photos, Nev begins corresponding with her family -- including her seductive 19-year-old sister. Realizing that something's not quite right, Nev sets out to uncover the truth.

Now that you have read the synopsis and watched the trailer... Forget everything! The only way to enjoy this movie is to know nothing and expect nothing. The trailer makes it look like a horror thriller... And while the conclusion may seem scary it's no scary movie. This is a classic example of the less you know the better. I will say that this is a movie worth watching. The first 40 minutes are a little slow but then the middle of the movie kicks it into high gear and all you can think is WTF is going on??!!?? Sadly the the last quarter of the film is a little slow again, I personally feel the cat (no pun intended) was let out of the bag a little early, but it's still a CRAZY ass tale. Keep an open mind and remember that it's all true. FYI there's been alot of speculation that this movie isn't true... Well then give these guys an award Bc there's too many random actions that make this real. It might be the main actor simply reaching into his pants to adjust his balls, or pick his nose, or cover his mouth in surprise - but they are too simplistic or even realistic to be acting - I'm a believer that this is a real adventure - and I loved the ride...

Where Should I put it in my Q? I say put it towards the top...
