Storyline:
A turbulent year in the life of a 15-year-old American high schooler, viewed through the lenses of his iPhone.
User review:
The film is played out from the view of a teenager’s iPhone, so we see what the camera sees, what the screen shows, etc. In doing this we see a lot of teen and porn, and there are lots of cultural touch points – from Captain Marvel through to a reference to the subreddit of deepfriedmeme, material which is much more universal, while also staying within the world of the phone.
It is this material that works best because it something I could relate to, and the technology only made some differences, but not core differences. The tension of the ‘seen’ message, the thrill of the glimpse of skin, the fear of the irl contact – all of it is recognizable and connects, even if I didn’t own a smartphone until I was in my late 30’s. Its best it is well done due to how relatable it is.
