The plot have uncanny similarity with S1mone. Its a movie where Al Pacino is a director who used CGI actress to sell his movies and the CGI actress was so charismatic people became obsessed with her. This time we have a CGI Instagram influencer boyfriend.

Fake Influencers exists in Instagram, there were people who uses filters to look like a different person and there is also those CGI Influencers. People know they are CGI but they still follow them.

That is an interesting plot and finally a Gay movie where the main character doesn’t struggle about his sexuality.

Dylan Sprouse is getting lots of projects while his twin brother is only getting a movie from China. This appears to be entertaining but it offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the parasocial connections made between influencers and their fans. Congratulations to whoever thought of this idea! I am eager to see it.

I just watched this and I loved it! Amazon Prime keeps stepping up when it comes to original movies and series. Nice to see a light hearted LGBT film that is not a depressing Oscarbait.
