A really thought-provoking indictment of our digital dystopia. Beautifully acted and shot, this movie is uncomfortable in parts and will stick with you afterwards.

Great movie w/o the standard torture that usually comes with movies like this. I'm usually drawn to movies that enact some sort of catharsis for the protagonists but the torture scenes or extreme violence scare me off. This movie shows you can make great movies without the extreme violence. More like this please

With an atmospheric backdrop of upstate anywhere USA , this is a landscape where we expect masked predators to creep behind bedroom windows and in backyard woodlands. But the predator here is much more sinister and lives inside the homes and minds of his victims, through social media. The victims are even more powerless than they are against the Kruegers or Jason Voorhees because they cannot be seen and the crimes are not believed . Add to this the perspective of a teenage mindset and this feminist revenge noir film leaves a quicksand feeling of the terrors of seeking justice in the www world . Sara Rich's performance beautifully navigates all the complexity of her own teenage experience edging into the prematurely adult roles of investigator and enforcer . There is no linear path here, and Pirozek confronts us with many hard questions of who and how justice should be served and who the the juries are in the entangled landscapes of social media.

If you're looking for a smart, poignant, engrossing thriller with knock out performances by Sarah Rich and Marc Menchaca then # LIKE is for you. The film follows a young woman trying to make sense of her sister's suicide and to take a stand against the man whose actions sent her sister over the edge. She's a vulnerable teenager with time on her hands, and we're drawn into her dark psychological orbit as she takes a risk that she may not be able to come back from. The plot goes in wonderfully unexpected places, never settling into familiar crevices. Sarah Pirozek is in control of every frame of this powerful coming of age story.
