The premise of a social media influencer digging into her past is intriguing, and there are moments that genuinely grip you. However, there are times when the plot feels a bit contrived, and some character motivations could use more clarity. The performances are solid, especially from the lead, who brings a certain charisma to the role. While the film has its highs, it also has some lows, leaving me feeling like it could’ve done more with its interesting premise. It's not a bad film by any means, but it may leave some viewers wanting a bit more depth and resolution. If you're in the mood for a drama that explores revenge and identity, give it a watch, but don't expect perfection. Show less
