Maybe it's the mock documentary genre, that I don't particularly like in general. I didn't find it well written in the sense that the angle some contributors take is unclear. I'm thinking of the older woman and the writer. However, the inclusion of some of lexis followers was quite nice to remind us of the particularities of her profession

Maybe it's the sometimes questionable acting. I found lexis manner quite exaggerated at times. Let's not speak of the fact that she's supposed to be 29... Her fellow influencer is not much better, always performing the exact same facial expressions for the camera.

Maybe it's the poor depiction of what influencers are nowadays. The quality of some of her videos was quite low, the editing was years old. What was shown clearly could not have earned her the movie she's supposed to have. Though the cyberbullying is nicely treated by Lexi herself, it is absent from the documentary entirely which I found too bad.

Or maybe it's the fact that it's not delivering what it's promising. It's labeled as a crime, there is technically no evidence of crime, especially if we follow the supernatural theory. Then it's labeled as horror but nothing much scared me. There were very few scenes who were supposed to in the first place and then the execution was rather un spectacular. Considering that it was a documentary, the only place for the scary stuff was the found footage part and it simply did not deliver. As a whole, it left me disappointed as I did not get what I came for.

I liked the premise in 'Lexi'. A famous Vlogger disappears and we go back through her footage to see what happened. However the film was missing two things, evolution in the story and a conclusion.

Sure it's interesting seeing all the different videos and things that happened to her, but at some point some clues need to be given towards what is actually going on. Instead we just get talking heads (and very annoying ones at that) all giving different theories over what has happened (again, with zero evidence or proper reasoning).

All of this could have been forgiven if the ending of the film offered some kind of resolution, even if it was a cryptic one, but nothing. It just ends. Found footage is designed to be all about the pay off. That was a let down. The idea of this film is an 8. The execution however is more of a 4. I'll go with 5.5/10.

An easy movie to misunderstand. It can easily be seen as a failed horror found footage film that doesn't really bring the scares. It was immediately obvious to me it was a mockumentary poking fun at found footage, more a dark comedy. It feels very modern, very contemporary with its take on influencers. Not great, but not bad. A decent watch.
