Social Animals (2018) Reviews
I was like, you know, into it, but like, not really, because, like, it's all like, you know
I was all like 'this is a good, like, idea' and so I was like 'I should watch this' and so, like, I said to my wife, like, let's watch it' and she's all like 'yeah, let's like watch it' and I was all like 'ok, cool-cool' and so like, then we like, started, like, watching it and, like, the subject matter was all like, interesting, but like, there was, like, something about it that like, made me want to like, turn it off because, like, it just, like annoyed me. Like, something was just, like, grating on me but like, I couldn't, like, put my finger on it. If listening to that doesn't annoy you - but might like... sorry: enjoy this movie. I couldn't get past the instagram star/future homeless girl. Yeah, she's a kid but it's just painful.
The 21st Century viewed through lenses
If your older and want to see what youngster are so intrigued about with their phones then watch this film. It's a view from the Instagram side of social media. The highs can be amazing the lows can be devasting. An in site of a changing world due to technology. Good or Bad it's here.
This was awesome
As a teenager this film helped me to understand the consequences and benefits of instagram without giving a strong view of its own, the film allows you to think on it and raise a question. Social animals shows the different circumstances and examples of failure and success on social media. Hoping for more work from this director

Social Animals was well-received at its world premiere at Austin's SXSW Film Festival. It is best described as a digital coming of age story that shows the positives and the pitfalls of the social media era. It showcases three teenagers and their experiences with Instagram. It also shows that while there is much that can be achieved positively (particularly in the experience of Humza Deas who uses Instagram as a platform to develop and showcase his amazing photography), butt there are also horrific downsides. The platform magnifies all of the worst pathologies of millennial culture including sexting, horrific cyberbullying, stalking, slut-shaming and so much else. All of the ugliest aspects of the playground are played out writ large on the social media stage. The director has done a thoughtful job of presenting the medium fairly. The film is entertaining, well-edited, and provocative. Frankly, I agree with the director (in his comments at the screening), if I had teenagers I wouldn't let my kids use this type of social media platform.
People are People
A great look at our social commentary for the time. People will always be people, bad people, good people, no matter what the time or technology is, history repeats itself with the people. Humza brings out beauty and inspiration through the dangers of society. Kaylyn is instagram incarnate, where it will be a lifestyle for her through and through. Same probably for Humza. For Emma, instagram won't be a lifestyle for her. Emma will hopefully look back in 20 years on the cruelties of people and technology, and shake her head and laugh (understanding at the time it hurt, but in the now, how unimportant they all were) as she's living her dreams out in peace and harmony. In the end, we all want validation from the world, it's human nature. But even if you have 1 million followers, you still may not find the peace you are looking for. Peace comes from within. It's true, it can be hard to find the peace with all the noise in the world, but it can be found in the silence of nature, the beach, helping others (as Emma's mom lovingly touched upon), etc. To find that peace from within when the going is good or the going is bad is ultimately what we all want. To find the peace within, even when others aren't liking our Instagram pages or when we're not at the beach or in nature. Emma's going through an age we all went through, when we felt our insecurities the most. Hopefully she knows that black guy who made that comment to her is not worthy of her. Hopefully she knows it's not her, that-that black guy just gets off on making hurtful comments to people, there's many like him. Beauty is to the eye of the beholder. It's subjective. Some may find Emma to be the most attractive woman in the world, and some may find blondes to be, or this or that. It's all subjective. Hopefully she knows that. Hopefully she realizes how beautiful she is.
