Catfish

I saw the trailer for this a while back when i went see The Other Guys in New York, and ever since then i've been dying to see this film. The suspense in the trailer is what intensifies the suspense you feel when watching the film, which i thought was very clever. But it was no trick. Regardless of whether you've seen the trailer or not the film is extremely tense. It's a documentary made by three friends, two film makers and a photographer. The photographer has started up a facebook relationship with a mother and her two daughters and the two film makers are documenting it all. The relationship with the eldest daughter elevates  and he is eager to meet her incase a relationship were to blossom in doing so.
I wish i could say more than all of this but it really is brilliant film making. Emotional, tense, funny; it truly is a great film and worth the wait. Why anybody would question it's reality i will never know. 5 stars.
