Am 28 too and am a attractive man but am virgin, Women never look or ever try engaging with me too. I love this movie. I mean i wish men like us get love.
This movie is just too bloody good. Every man has suffered this. Women always go with the popular guy while ignoring many good fellas like us. Watched it in the Australian Film festival and it was well loved.
When I saw the title Streamer, I assumed it was a horror movie. Let's face it - there's probably another film out there with the same name, because social media is a major set up to exploring these particular themes. But to my surprise, this small indie is not horror in the traditional sense. Streamer is, at its core, a quiet drama. It takes an intimate, surreal approach to the story of a lonely young man struggling to connect with the real world.
This is a story about yearning - the simple desire to love. For the male lead, the internet becomes his escape, as face to face communication feels overwhelming. His fixation begins when he talks with a beautiful woman online under anonymity. By coincidence, lives in the same apartment building. What follows is a slow, deliberate exploration of his day-to-day mundane life, revealing the dread, of unrequited longing through careful shot composition and pacing.
The two leads deliver their performances with precision. Jared Bratt, in particular, carries the weight of the film with subtlety and realism - his eyes and body language speaks volumes.
Visually, the film is striking. Its use of color - shifting from black and white frames to saturated pink hues - creates a dreamlike quality. The story blurs the line between reality and imagination, leaving the audience uncertain about what is truly happening and what exists only in the character's mind. But rather than seeking clear answers or adhering to a conventional three - act structure, the film invites us to inhabit this man's fractured perspective.
Despite its limited budget, Streamer never feels cheap or undeveloped. It reminded me of what I love about small - budget filmmaking, much like Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi. While that is an action film, the comparison stands: with a strong focus on story and craft, a small film can make a lasting impact.

Kudos to the movie team. I love this flick soo much, this helps us look into tge lives of real men who are depressed thanks to this fast paced lifestyle and compititive times. This is a film about awareness about the men who have life difficult. My boyfriend was like this until i found him and fixed him. Every man needs a woman.
I just dont have any bad points for this film, excellent direction and purrfect editing. I was surprised this film was made in a tiny budget but the plot was 10 on 10 and the suspense was intriguing. Id say go watch this movie, it's way better than those corny marvels or uneversal movies. Give these new film makes a chance. The actors were awsome too.
