Okay, how do I rate this movie. It was certainly something? And hat a lot of nice bigger and smaller references to the current times and culture. I think it was quite clever in some areas.

Then, in some scenes it was so strange and didn't really make sense... And when they talked about reddit it felt like it was written by some 50 year olds again who have never visited that site.

Eh, I mean I was entertained and I think the film gives a lot of food for thought. So I'll be generous and give it a 7.

This twisty turny thriller plays on dating paranoia. A great script that leaves plenty of room for thought.

This movie did a good job of building some suspense behind the horrors of just existing as female in today's society.

Most of the time when I watch new movies I don't look up information as to not get my opinion influenced. So I didn't know what this movie was about before I saw it. I didn't know it was based on a short story, which by the way seems to be better than the movie.

Apparently the original story ends before all that happens in the house at the end of the movie. And so, everything from there on is an addition of the movie. It is precisely that part what makes the protagonist less reliable and the story before to make less sense.

As for the film itself, it is nothing special, but it has some interesting themes to reflect upon, and serves as a good depiction of the fears that many women suffer when it comes to meeting men.

Your enjoyment of this will depend on what you think it's trying to say. For me, it's about the reality women live in and the resulting anxieties. And the reality men think they live in. Could potentially be a 7 upon rewatch.

6/10 fair

Think I’ve over marked this movie????
I know nothing about the short story that this is based on, but I believe it’s meant to be a bit of a feminist movie.
I also believe that we are meant to see Robert as a creep and as the baddie in the film, instead for me it’s totally the opposite and it’s the female that I end up hating….
Yes Robert as a character is a bit of a loner and definitely has Communication problems coming from being a movie nerd. Confusing what he sees on the big screen with real life and all it’s complexity.
But by the end of the movie, it’s the female I ended up hating and almost came across as the predator in the movie.
Yes Robert lost it at the end of the movie and definitely overreacted to the situation, but it was totally understandable when you look at how he’s mind sees the world and how it plays out, via movies…..
Is he right in he’s actions?
NO
But some how it’s understandable and I ended up feeling sorry for him and somehow understanding he’s actions.
We’re as with the female, I could see her making all the same mistakes, over and over again in the future and almost bringing it all onto herself…..

my friend sent me this trailer months ago and I've been SO looking forward to seeing it but - woof, what a disappointment.

it was too preachy and omg the pacing. at first there was almost a camp quality to the feminism rhetoric that I found fun but as the movie went on everything just started to draaaaaag.

I understand what they were going for with it all but it just didn't stick the landing or even really the launch, tbh.

someone watched promising young woman and said “you know what we need? more blatant trauma porn”

This movie is infuriating to watch… as a gay man! Idk if this was supposed to be a “feminist” movie but what in the actual f*ck? Girl meets boy, from the moment they meet, girl already vilifies him as a predator or serial killer. Girl has sex with boy, girl can’t communicate what she likes or doesn’t like in bed. Girl dumps boy and suddenly feels like he’s stalking her? What is he supposed to do… find a new movie theater to avoid running into her? Leave town because of her?

Best line by the cop “average Joe likes young p___y, gets frustrated she doesn’t like him back. Drinks too much calls her a bad name. Drives to her work and try to plead his case, Chickens out. Next time he picks a less hot girl”

Net net: communication is key. Guys are not mind readers. So don’t automatically make them
Out to be the villains of your dating story.

I normally don't write reviews, but this movie has made me angry.

The girl is a psycho, but in the way they present it, she is justified to blame the guy only based on her sick imagination.

She acts as a victim of something that just happened in her mind.

She even enters his home to place a tracking device on his car.

But still somehow it's presented that somehow it's his fault.

If this is the way girls nowadays are thinking, there is really no hope in humanity.

Also, the way he reacted in the end was way over the top. What sort of image of men do women have?

I'm so glad I'm way past dating, but I'm worried for my boys.

It's not only this movie, obviously.
There are tons of videos on YouTube of women saying men are not needed at all or just for their money.
Constant hating on the men; it's becoming the norm.
Maybe men should just stay away from them for good, advance the technology, and build companion robots, and let humanity get extinct.
