Not gonna lie, I have aged out of the live-streaming demographic; so this out-of-the-woodwork film was a genuinely pleasant surprise.
"Spree" is going for satire on the empty pursuit of followers and the movie nails it. Joe Keery really brings this goofy kid to life; his desperation echoes that of Patrick Bateman (with some nice "Nightcrawler" sociopathy thrown in), clearly trying too hard to build that social media brand. His performance here is an eye-grabber, and I do hope that it helps broaden his appeal.
I quite enjoyed myself and found something much deeper than the marketing had implied. Keery's great in the role and it's evident that that plenty of thought and effort went into this. It's darkly funny, it's twisted and I absolutely had to see how all of this would end.
