I went into this thinking that this catfishing scheme would be something so intricate that it would make sense as to why the woman in the story does not realize she is being catfished. Maybe this is due to my knowledge of the subject from the MTV series, but it was almost immediate that I figured out who was catfishing her. The signs were there, and yet she was so blind to the truth.
The catfisher is obviously the biggest to blame for the situation, but the woman being catfished is just about as equally to blame. She spent 18 years in a relationship with a man who never wanted to marry her, feeling blindsided by the real end to the relationship. Then she meets with Bobby, and he allegedly goes into witness protection, but breaks the rules to contact her? That typically would never happen.
I think the real sign that this woman needs some psychological help for herself is when she takes it upon herself to confront Bobby in-person, and does not believe a single word he says (which I understand, but she was coming off creepy--and she does not acknowledge that she did).
It's an interesting film, but you spend most of it screaming at her to see the giant elephant that is in front of her face.
