Beautifully shot, well-acted, and moving, this was an uncomfortable watch, which I think was the point. Similar to Promising Young Woman, but less entertaining, this was more gripping in a realistic, heart-breaking, frustrating way that made the middle of the movie slow and hard to watch as it descended close to a kind of torture-porn. It's redeemed by the themes and thoughtfulness behind why everything's happening, but it's ultimately missing an exploration into why the main character suddenly spirals into this madness - how she goes about it is much more thought out than a crime of passion. But the performances between the two leads and their moments together in the basement were strong. I applaud the open ending because - that's life - but wanted more from how this experience changed the main character and where she was going from there. Overall, though, a strong movie from a strong and intentional writer/director.

Great actors but the ending of the movie was stupid

I really don't understand why this movie doesn't have more ratings/attention! I actually was really intrigued by the entire thing and I thought it had a solid story involving internet bullying and stalking.

Incredibly low rating for a fairly entertaining pix.

Well acted and the story was intriguing enough to keep your attention, ok it's not an Oscar-winning smash by any level, having said that to all the low raters, why don't you try making a film one day?

You'll realize it's not as easy as you imagine. You're all critics and the majority wouldn't have a single clue just what goes into making something even as bad as you think this is.

Enjoy the movie, it's worth 90mins of you're time. 😉

A promising set-up ends in disappointment in #Like, and not just for the female protagonist. A movie very much like Hard Candy in everything but decent execution, it seems constantly on the verge on many different genres... suspense thriller, torture porn, teen romance... before backing away from all of them and just being an unseemly mish-mash of nothing in particular.

This is a real shame as the acting is universally good, and the twist at the end could be impactful under different circumstances. But with so much confusion as to what it wants to be, plus the MANY unanswered questions at the end, you have a half-baked creation of which the best compliment is that it's less than the sum of it's parts.

Next time, try kneading the plot dough a bit more, add a pinch of salt then stick it in the oven for an extra five minutes. The end result will be worth the extra effort. Guaranteed. :) 5/10.
