Catfish
Catfish. It’s a strange name for a movie, made stranger because there are no fish in this flick. No catfishing, no catfish dinners. Yes, one reference, but it’s pretty oblique.
Then again, the whole movie is sort of strange. This guy is a 24 year old photographer in New York, and he starts an online friendship with an 8 year old girl who makes a painting from one of his photos.
Through her, he meets her whole family, and begins a relationship with her 19 year old sister.
Then things get strange. Very strange.
This is a true story–the photographer has a brother who makes films, and he starts to document this unique relationship, and the things that develop therefrom. The movie is shot on essentially no budget, and often looks it, but the characters are compelling and what happens is fascinating and you just get completely wrapped up in the story.
No, I can’t tell you what happens, you have to pay the $10.00 to Cinemark for that. I can tell you that you’ll be entertained for your money, and be glad you went to the theater.
