Viral Beauty

A really modern innovative approach initiates the audience into the angst of sudden internet fame. The premise is timely and is 100% believable in terms of the pitfalls of intense online attention, and the corruption of self that comes from corporate branding one's life.

Casey Killoran is wonderful in the lead role as Marsha Day, always engaging, vulnerable at times but typically rough around the edges despite the thick veneer of personality coated on her like makeup by her brand managers. The supporting cast is terrific, there are some really memorable performances all around, impressive considering the volume of actors needed to tell a story that needs lots of eyeballs and personalities layered on top.

This movie is funny, serious, whimsical and dystopian all at the same time, which is quite hard to pull off.

A great movie that captures the manufactured nature of social media and addresses current social issues of our generation. It's a reflection of everyone's secret cyber-identity, portraying the good and the bad. Casey's character world in search of true connections vanishes in this deeply emotional and heartbreaking but beautiful story. Wonderful cinematography, and a great casting are just the perfect formula for this indie gem.

An interesting and critical look at how social media can impact our lives. Social Media Influencers, what are they? Why do we give them so much hype and then gleefully bring them down the very next moment?

I really enjoyed the editing technique which switched between social media and cinematic format.

This was a very 'In' topic and subject matter movie for these days. It looks at social media and the influences and effects it has on your life. Very appropriate for this era we live in. I thought it was a good movie and gave you something to think about. After all, what is all this social media craze doing to our souls. I loved that they touched on this subject as I think its very controversial.

I really liked this funny and insightful indie film. It is so current to our social environment and the effect it has on people. Marsha Day posts an unabashed video online outlining her ideal man to date. She is bashed, made fun of and supported as well by her defenders. It becomes a real online debate and is picked up by a social media personality and goes viral. Along with it comes the hard road to stardom overnight for poor Marsha. You will pitty her, laugh with her and root for her throughout this hilarious romp that is beautifully executed and wonderfully acted from every part. One of the best indie films I have seen in awhile. Kuddos to entire cast and crew!
