A decent attempt to show the facile void emptiness of the cult of online influencers - Sweat review by PV
I enjoyed this.
It is crude and squalid in parts, but shows what a lie the media is whether TV or online.
It follows an influencer keep fit guru - a young woman whose life is skillfully shown as not being all happy and joyful as her TikTok smartphone broadcasts show. There have been many influencers who have died young by their own hands - the obsessive attention-seeking is not that normal really.
I am not sure I believe the story arc here - but anyway, the main character is utterly believable and that carries this tragic tale.
4 stars - a decent modern Polish film.
watch REALITY a Spanish film to see how empty reality TV is too.
