Julie We were pleasantly surprised at how well the story was written and filmed! Worth watching! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Natasha C The film explores the intriguing world of live-streaming culture, shedding light on both its direct and indirect impacts. Divided into two parts, it delves into the mental health challenges, struggles, and occasional triumphs experienced by those involved in live-streaming. The first part follows the competitive journey of Mukbangers Truc & Emi, showcasing their constant battle for viewers' attention. Personally, I found this section more entertaining, thanks to Emi's humorous remarks and video clichés. The stark contrast between Truc and Emi highlights Truc's relentless pursuit of attractiveness to capture viewers' interest, although I felt she lost herself and acted strangely in the finale scene. In the second part, the film focuses on Hoang's downfall as a food reviewer, publicly ousted by cancel culture. I couldn't help but feel pity for him as the film exaggerates the consequences he faces, including fearing for his life. This section highlights how individuals can lose themselves to the effects of live-streaming culture. Ultimately, the film conveys a message about the dangers of live-streaming, emphasizing its addictive nature for viewers while providing insight into the extreme lives of streamers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
