Fucking with Nobody

This is not merely a "non-linear narrative". There are three layers: at the core, a fake Instagram love story; then the film about making that story; and these are wrapped in scenes about the making of this film, Eff-ing with Nobody. It's often unclear which of these three layers we're seeing at any given moment, and the jumps happen seemingly at random. Add to this a couple of what are later revealed to be fantasy scenes, and you end up with a jumbled mess.

Which is unfortunate, because the core story and how people reacted to it was interesting, at first. The acting was very good. The production was okay, and I wasn't bothered by the relatively few cellphone video scenes, which were of good quality. Some of the plot details were intriguing.

The film is not really a comedy, although we chuckled a few times. And it's certainly not a tragedy, just an interesting little tale that could have been written and produced to be accessible. But it wasn't.
