Under the Influencer

This movie was actually pretty good. The story is more about the main character's development and arc instead of just focusing on an unrealistic romance. You can tell the budget is similar to the Hallmark movies, but somebody actually read the script before funding it. I won't get into spoilers but there are some twists and turns in the story that keep things interesting, but not in a bad way. It still delivered the standard romcom fare that my wife likes, but it repackaged it with some new elements that made it a solid watch for me. If you don't love romcoms but want to get some brownie points with your wife, recommend this movie to watch on your next date night.

Taylor was fantastic, energetic, sympathetic, romantic and lovable. The theme is timely and the story unique and multifaceted. Kept my attention throughout. The pace of the film changed in ways that fit with the storyline and didn't seem forced. Sometimes a comedy, sometimes tragic, sometimes romantic and ultimately redemptive. Characters are believable, acting is wonderful. Like a good book, I wish I'd be able to keep track of the characters in the future, it's that good. Hoping for a sequel. Been wondering when it will be in more venues, and in general release. Left feeling fulfilled and satisfied. Can't wait to see it again.

Great film that takes an insightful look into social media culture and what happens when you become beholden to the opinions of others. Taylor Scorse as Tori, does an incredible job of taking us through the journey of identifying with her social media persona to finding herself and discovering her true passions outside of the external voices in her life.

This movie is a fun journey where in depth discoveries of self are punctuated with lighthearted moments. You really begin to identify with the main character and root for her as she goes on her heroes journey to discover who she really is. I would highly recommend this film!

What a cool and unique movie with a real perspective on its subject. UNDER THE INFLUENCER is a breath of fresh air. Influencers and influencer culture is often the butt of jokes in modern movies and TV, but writer/director Alex Haughey, star Taylor Scorse, and their talented crew find the funny, real human emotions underneath the glossy veneer. TikTok/Social Media culture rarely gets such a thoughtul examination in long-form media, let alone a good and interesting take on the subject. UNDER THE INFLUENCER is funny, engaging, and unpredictable with a cool POV on its core premise and characters. Go watch it if you like good things!

A movie I thought I might enjoy, but one that I loved instead. From the very beginning, you can tell this is not what you thought it was going to be. Beautiful direction and acting.

The film is a meaningful tribute to the artist who is struggling with authenticity, when success seems to dictate giong in another direction. The take on social media success is both funny and only too believable. Great visuals, music and filmwork that keeps you interested while surprising you with what comes next.

Let's see more and hear more from these artists: Alex Haughey; Taylor Joree Scorse; Spencer Vaughn Kelly; Chandler Young. Ava Westcott is a special hoot.
