Lexi

This ones a doozie. Just because you can make a movie doesn't mean you should. Some of the most cringe acting and setup I've seen, and I've gone down the Tubi rabbit hole. The woman playing Lexi is so frickin irritating. Every time she says "Lexicons" I wanted to pluck my own eye out. Poorly done and clearly a ripoff of much better indie films in this mock-style genre. Avoid at all costs.

Maybe it's the mock documentary genre, that I don't particularly like in general. I didn't find it well written in the sense that the angle some contributors take is unclear. I'm thinking of the older woman and the writer. However, the inclusion of some of lexis followers was quite nice to remind us of the particularities of her profession

Maybe it's the sometimes questionable acting. I found lexis manner quite exaggerated at times. Let's not speak of the fact that she's supposed to be 29... Her fellow influencer is not much better, always performing the exact same facial expressions for the camera.

Maybe it's the poor depiction of what influencers are nowadays. The quality of some of her videos was quite low, the editing was years old. What was shown clearly could not have earned her the movie she's supposed to have. Though the cyberbullying is nicely treated by Lexi herself, it is absent from the documentary entirely which I found too bad.

Or maybe it's the fact that it's not delivering what it's promising. It's labeled as a crime, there is technically no evidence of crime, especially if we follow the supernatural theory. Then it's labeled as horror but nothing much scared me. There were very few scenes who were supposed to in the first place and then the execution was rather un spectacular. Considering that it was a documentary, the only place for the scary stuff was the found footage part and it simply did not deliver. As a whole, it left me disappointed as I did not get what I came for.

An easy movie to misunderstand. It can easily be seen as a failed horror found footage film that doesn't really bring the scares. It was immediately obvious to me it was a mockumentary poking fun at found footage, more a dark comedy. It feels very modern, very contemporary with its take on influencers. Not great, but not bad. A decent watch.

A movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat, you can feel the love Victoria puts into Lexi, and the crafting of the character. Strongly Recommend.

I don't usually care for found footage films, but this one quickly deviates from the typical recorded footage and into interviews and other types of coverage that, for me, make it a lot more entertaining. I really enjoyed watching it.
