"Catfish"

****½


An incredible documentary (that some maintain isn't true). Part character study, part exploration of our increasingly social network based society, part thriller, it's a hard movie to review without spoilers. And the very fact that elements could be spoiled is part of the reason some doubt it's authenticity. Since I can't discuss exactly why I was so blown away by this one, I'll just say it wasn't what I expected. It built a surprising level of tension for a documentary, but ultimately, it turns out touching and more than a little sad. This is a must see movie in every way! And I will never accept a friend request on Facebook from someone I don't know again!
