Webkamera

Eredeti téma, amely a fiatalok megszállottságát tükrözi, hogy sikeresek legyenek a mesterséges online világ identitásversenyében, ráadásul formailag jól kivitelezve. De éppen ezért vártam, hogy egy szélesebb körű összeesküvéses cselekményt fejlesszen ki, drámaibb befejezéssel. A film végül is inkább egy kisiklott valósággal rendelkező tinédzser karakter intim pszichológiai hullámzása, akinek a pszichológiai izgalmai engem mint nézőt nem nagyon érdekelnek. (2019.05.05)

This is a very nice surprise that is more thriller than horror, but that doesn't matter here. The story revolves around the beautiful Lola, who earns her money through erotic webcam shows and tries to move up in the rankings. Unfortunately, someone steals her identity, taking almost everything from her and Lola doesn't like that. It's very original, colourful, quite smart, funny, decently acted, disturbing and mysterious at the same time, and above all it is exciting and sexy, something the gentlemen will enjoy, as there are plenty of butts and boobs. The finale is very nicely set up and the only thing that bothered me was that we don't get answers to certain questions. Netflix has been pedaling on the gas incredibly towards the end of the year and has improved significantly since January. Good job. 75% (2018.11.19)

A neon Kafkaesque tale set in the webcam tease business, it ponders nothing less than the value of the identity of the people who choose to put it on public display and earn some of those virtual dollars. The film is briskly shot, surprising, and as a result I didn't mind that it didn't thoroughly explain why and how everything that happened happened, but dealt mostly with what caused it and how to get out of it (if such a thing is possible).

An erotic techno thriller that quite nicely works with suspense. In normal circumstances I would say that the premise is quite fitting for America with its total naivete, had it not been for the recently produced documentary Caught in the Net, which is similar in its premise and goes to even greater extremes. A girl from live chat behaved in a quite thrilling way at the beginning and not because you expect her to make up a lot of different stuff in front of the camera but because of the mysticism that starts to happen in the second half of the movie. And what’s more all of this is quite absurd for an ordinary viewer but for those who work with the internet or create programs it is a daily routine and they can confirm that the worst scenario is when your identity is stolen on the internet, so this movie is worth thinking about.

A brilliant portrayal of the degenerate generation 0, to which unfortunately I belong and must cope bravely with the fact that many pretty girls would rather undress in front of the camera than in front of me. The colourful format is fitting and the heroine’s gradual fall into despair and the literal loss of her identity are surpassed only by the fact that we don’t wish her anything good. From a purely logical perspective, perhaps it doesn’t make sense at times, but who gives a damn when they manage to smear major faults and threats of today’s anonymous internet community in such a credible and interesting way. Girls, dress nicely, throw away your mobiles and go back to the village balls, after all, you may end up undressing for the raffle, too. ;) (2020.02.12)
