Trailer
Filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost are in the midst of filming the life of Ariel's brother, Nev, but a story that neither expected begins to unfold.-
It really is an intriguing modern tale of communication, intimacy, self-knowledge and the web: a great companion to The Social Network.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian -
As a potential double bill with The Social Network, it could tempt anyone to yank out their modem and find a verifiable person to talk to and touch; but the web, in both cases, is a surprising conduit for access to our hidden and truest selves.
Tim Robey, The Telegraph -
A sophisticated and thrilling reminder of just how malleable the notion of personality actually is, particularly when poured into the bespoke mould afforded by the internet. Reality? Emotion? Love? In an online playground, they're as pliable as play-doh.
Catherine Bray, Film 4 -
For its first 50 minutes, Catfish does a terrifically twitchy job of seizing on digital-age paranoia. Anyone with an online profile will connect with Nev’s situation — it’s everyone’s FaceSpace nightmare.
Simon Crook, Empire Magazine
Unsettling and intriguing, definitely worth a watch for anyone who spends lots of time online.
Brilliant and surprisinly sweet documentary, very gripping
