Catfish (spoiler free)
Much has been speculated about the film Catfish, causing no small order of controversy. Purported to be a documentary about an ordinary guy who gets caught up in extraordinary events, the authenticity of of this film is immediately called into question. How much of this documentary is real? How much is the fabricated narrative of the film makers? If the entire movie is fiction, can it still be called a documentary? In the movie, after a shocking revelation that leaves our protagonist doubting authenticity, he goes on to seek out the truth of the matter. I think it's only fair that the critics who doubt the veracity of this documentary to follow Nev's example and check out how deep the rabbit hole goes. Maybe they can even make a movie out of it.
