[Influencer] is smartly crafted, well-written, and strongly performed. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 05/26/2023
On a surface level, this is an alluring film, all about what happens when people bring their carefully constructed online personas into the messier, bloodier real world. Go to Full Review
Brandon Yu New York Times 05/25/2023
Harder has made good and entertaining use of a premise that could have become a simple gimmick, and Naud and Saper prove strong leads as their characters try to read each other between the likes. Go to Full Review

Àvinash r 1d Watched Influencer unexpectedly. At first, I was like, what is this? and then the title card appears with those background drums. Absolute peak moment. An excellent performance from Cassandra Naud, especially during the swimming pool kill scene she’s completely badass there. Really loved the film and the way it justifies its title by the end.

This movie has so many things to love, it has great acting, great music, beautiful cinematography, and has a really good villain. See more Dwight T. @dtread Dec 7 Definitely worth a watch!
