An unseen, unnamed filmmaker (Hope Davis) peers through her camera. She wants to pick a "real" subject to film, and when she sees Guy (Vincent D'Onofrio) on the street, she latches onto him. At first, Guy is enraged that someone is just following him around, filming, but soon he begrudgingly accepts her presence, then gets attached to the attention. The act of being observed changes Guy's daily life, his personality and, eventually, his relationship with the woman behind the camera.

Audience Member A guy on the edge.. and a women willing to push.. "Is this going somewhere??.." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I was kind of surprised by how interesting and well-made it is. Much better than Truman Show and EdTV. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is great! vincent looks so hott in this one!! ;-) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay wow, when you flick on a random movie channel and throw on some film you've never heard of, this is NOT what you're expecting. Tells the story of Guy (portrayed perfectly by D'Onofrio) who one day is approached by a girl with a camera, who has decided to make a film about him. She proceeds to follow him everywhere documenting his life until they are both driven quite crazy by it. This movie is trippy, so unlike anything I've seen before and it even made me fall in love with Hope Davis who has always annoyed me. Brilliant concept, well directed with an unexpected ending. Undiscovered but really worth getting hold of... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is so refreshing. The simplicity of it makes it so compelling. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Compelling movie, the premise of which is someone filming a man's everyday life with a camcorder. Worthy and artistic cinema that deserves to be seen, Excellent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
