By the end of this film, people will have a grand mixture of feelings towards the outcome. People will find it sympathetic and heartfelt or complete disgust and hate (and I'm in the latter). And people will also question whether this film is a complete truth or a complete hoax and they will have a huge debate on that. Whether it is, you really have the admire the filmmakers' techniques in keeping the audience guessing and nervous throughout the film. Even having the audience question about the morality of the digital social media such as Facebook and whether the secret was right or wrong, true or false. It is a very neat film to check out and will have you talking about it as soon as you finish it.

3 out of 5 stars
