Review of Catfish (2010) by Nick D — 06 May 2011

I watched this unsettling documentary with a vague tremor of fear, made more absorbing despite, or perhaps because of a nagging question of its veracity. Who was lying? How did all this stuff get on film? Were the protagonists in danger? All of this is enabled by a highly skilled and well-edited unfolding of a story that is emblematic of our digital lifestyle era which has forever transformed our understanding of words like sharing, identity, privacy, meaning & ultimately, love.
