Girl in the Video

This film within the first minutes, gives strong A. I. vibes. The plot , the characters, the dialogues everything feels so poorly written. I could swear that a quick interaction with Chat GPT would yield the same result as far as entertainment goes. Nothing ever happens on screen, there's no action , no character development and the most peculiar thing is that, it seems like the movie takes place almost entirely during the day! It made me question my existence and thus prompted me to make an account on this website, just to comment how much I hated the overall experience online. Overall a strong no from me.

I thought this was a good movie and I pray will teach youngsters about the dangers of social media, I thought the acting was good throughout despite all the other negative reviews on here. Cush Jumbo has been in a lot of excellent British dramas and is a good actor even with an American accent. Tia May Watson was also very good playing the unfortunate victim in this movie.

The one question I have is why all the actors are acting American when the they are all British and the movie was filmed in Norfolk in the UK. Why not just have it as a movie based in The UK?

I'm keen to hear from Americans the thoughts on The Brits American accents.

Give the movie a chance.

The daughter was a brat the first ten minutes she didn't do anything but have an attitude. The mom was clueless the only person with some sense was the brother. Lifetime could've done better with this movie it also played out very slowly took a while to get to the point. The cops were the usual slow moving lifetime cops who don't have a clue and really don't try to help. I just kept watching like (-_-) . Sad what happened but they all got on my nerves. It was very corny but show it to your pre teens it'll make them second guess talking and meeting up with strangers if you can get past the cringe.

The message it's portraying is clear and shows the horror of social media. How they can safeguard the internet appears to be impossible. It's scary to know that children can easily be manipulated and believe everything at face value. Evil people prey on the vulnerable and these days, they have the tools to make it easy for them to carry out their depraved crimes.

So yes the film opens your eyes to the fact, in my opinion the acting in this film is dire! The characters didn't portray any genuine emotion, it wasn't gripping, it was a plodding beginning, middle and end film but happy of course she survived.

First I want to say that this is a messed up world where perverts pay to watch children being abused.

I found this movie difficult to watch, but important to bring public awareness of catfishing. I knew going in that it would be hard to watch. So I tried to brace myself for things I would most likely see, or things that would be implied. But there is no way to prepare yourself for knowing that a child is being abused. It's just heartbreaking.

I've followed Cush Jumbo's career since her role in The Good Wife.

She plays Krissy's (Tia May Watts), the abducted girl's mother. I thought she did a good job. I think I heard her British accent creep in just once, very slightly.

I thought everyone was good in their roles, and the acting was above average for an LMN/Lifetime movie.

I don't care how savvy we think we are, catfishing is getting more and more dangerous. We must all be vigilant.

The ending made me emotional.
