Abbie Rose is a popular social-media influencer known for her lifestyle, fashion and makeup videos. One night she signs a coveted contract with Nutrocon, a notorious cosmetic company known to pollute, test on animals and treat female workers unfairly... Immediately, she's taken down and tied up in her home by a group of masked activists. Overnight, they force Abbie through the filming of a video, advertising a mysterious new makeup kit. As the hacker's plan unfolds, we learn the real reason for their visit, and, as Abbie's façade fades, we learn more about the lies she's been living.

B-Sides & Badlands

Meghan Weinstein’s The Influencer condemns the vulturistic nature of the digital age, both the exploitation of blind fanaticism and the hunger for fame and fortune we all crave.

Rated: 3.5/5

Brian Costello

Common Sense Media

This is a dark satire that never quite lands as it careens back and forth between comedy and social commentary.

Rated: 2/5

Shadows on the Wall

Then the narrative shifts into an unhinged thriller, and while the tone remains resolutely cheesy, larger themes come into the mix.

Rated: 3/5

Kelly Vance

East Bay Express

Filmmaker [Meghan] Weinstein's amusingly etched portrait of the times may move slowly at first, but the careful scene-setting leads to a breathless toboggan run down the slippery slope of 21st-century pop culture and crass commerce.

Alan Ng

Film Threat

Overall, writer/director Meghan Weinstein has created a surreal world born from the rapid growth of social media and the length influencers will build their brands.

Rated: 7/10

Josh Bell

Crooked Marquee

The tone lurches from goofy to violent, and writer-director Meghan Weinstein never hones in on a coherent message or viewpoint.

Rated: C
