Anton Bitel Little White Lies 12/09/2016
unnerving study in cinephilia & erotomania, somewhere between Man Bites Dog & Creep, as one man documents his own murderous obsession, knowing full well that his possession of a camera is the best cover story for acts lifted from the horror genre. Go to Full Review

It's precisely because it feels so real that it feels so stomach-droppingly plausible: The mundanity makes it all the more terrifying. Go to Full Review

Be My Cat is a unique case file into the mind of a deeply disturbed and possibly schizophrenic filmmaker who truly believes his work will be the imprint of a genius. Go to Full Review

I thought it was good for what it was and I applauded the way it was put together...a very interesting found footage film. Go to Full Review

Strikingly original, memorable and tense film, the first found footage film from Romania. Go to Full Review

4/5
Tofei's uncomfortable moments are used to good effect, and that also plays into the worrisome metafiction of the film overall. Go to Full Review

Richard G. @Richg0516 Dec 5 I thought the film was slow snd boring. It’s approximately one and a half hours of listening to the psychotic rantings of an unhinged man while his actresses were as dumb as could be. What a waste of time See more Crockett H. @CrockettHoughton Sep 15 If you want to feel uncomfortable for 90 minutes, this is the one for you. See more Tara B Aug 25 I would rather just stare at a picture of Anne Hathaway. See more Andy B @AndyB6816 Jul 31 This film has so much potential and sadly doesn’t deliver. The concept is great - the main character is an obsessive fan of Anna Hathaway who is trying to get her to make a film with him. In order to demonstrate his commitment, he films three women in scenes from the film. In the film he is making, he is portraying himself. He sees the character as being more obsessed and psychotic than him, but actually it’s just a reflection of his personality- as is evidenced by his bloody actions. It’s a great idea - and very meta. It looks at obsession with celebrity, the ability of people to hide behind the camera and their willingness to fool themselves. But, it is clear that the film is largely improvised, so it lacks impact and punch. Apparently the filmmaker decided to only used first takes - but there’s a reason that not all films don’t do that, in terms of making a film slicker and more effective. The pacing drags and the characters are not engaging enough to maintain attention. It’s a shame, as it could have been exceptional. See more Oaklee D @ODie63 Jul 17 Critics have sung this films praises from the rooftops, and I don't see the hype. It is an incoherent film that is in no way entertaining. I had high expectations and was majorly disappointed. See more Stoner J @Stoner Apr 26 I think the critics (and most audience) are just tripping, this is not a good movie, you don’t find out what happens to the main character OR his last would be victim, so what’s the point of watching. It was also like watching a freakin snuff film, for real! It was also extremely too simple. The lack of conclusion is just the tip of the spear. See more Read all reviews
