Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt a screening in San Francisco, director Bo Burnham said he originally intended for all the young characters to communicate with one another over Facebook. When his star, Elsie Fisher, saw his script, however, she said, "No one uses Facebook." He then made that a line in the movie and had the characters use Instagram and Snapchat instead.
- GoofsIn the mall scene where Kayla first walks in to meet Olivia, she walks past a number of mid-mall kiosks. One of them has a mirror and you can see the crew briefly reflected as she moves through the scene.
- Quotes
Kayla: Do I make you sad? I don't know. Sometimes I think that when I'm older, I'll have a daughter of my own or something... and I feel like if she was like me, then being her mum would make me sad all the time. I'd love her because she's my daughter, but I think if she turned out like me that being her mum would make me really sad.

Featured review
This film really gives you a glimpse into the lives of teenagers who are growing up in 2 different worlds at the same time. The digital world and the physical world. For kids today, the digital world is easier to navigate. And I think that is why they are so deeply attached to it.
If you want an action packed, drama filled movie, then this probably isn't for you. Kayla's story is not an extraordinary one, I believe its one shared by a great deal of young people, myself included. And that is exactly why I think this is an important and heart wrenching film, especially for those who can see themselves in her struggles. Would highly recommend.
