Feels unscripted and real

I will admit I was initially drawn in by the cuteness of Joey Capone and the ridiculously handsome Aryeh-Or. As I watched, however, it felt real and unscripted. It gives you a voyeuristic feeling reminiscent of Andy Warhol's "Trash". It made a statement about how voyeuristic, exhibitionist, and vain society has become because of the internet. I honestly can't tell if that was intentional or just my own take. It frequently felt like the director/producer was trying to be deeply philosophical, but missing the mark like a stoned college student. If nothing else the movie makes for a good conversation starter among friends.
