At least one thing about Catfish is certain: It’s the first film to depict digital life with any sense of authenticity. (There are more shots of Facebook in the opening minutes than in the two-plus hours of The Social Network.) What’s more, the filmmakers deftly use digital platforms as plot devices, stringing us along with every status update and Google map. And you know what totally makes up for any creative embellishment? Pioneering a new genre: the social-media whodunit.
Film: Is Catfish Just a Tall Tale?
I know everyone was talking about this movie when it first came out, but I still don’t think it got the credit it deserves. Fake or not, it was shockingly well done. If it is fake, it falls short of being this decade’s Blair Witch Project, but it’s a fair comparison. If it’s true, it might be the most authentic movie about being young and alive at this particular moment in history that I’ve ever seen.

This was that movie that you told me about that involved terribleness and maybe gave me goosebumps, yes?
