Film recommendation Catfish

There was a trailer for a film called Catfish on More 4 last night, they are showing it next Tuesday night as part of the True Stories series.  Having seen it in the IFI in the Autumn, and given that it's about Social Networking, I thought I'd recommend it.  I'd advise you not to read anything about it before hand, as it would ruin it.
It is the complete anthithesis of the Social Network, as glossy and stylised as that  film is, this is grainy and low-budget.  It's a documentary about a photographer's online relationship with an eight-year-old child prodigy and her attractive elder half-sister. about deceit and lonliness. Worth a watch especially when it's for free on TV.

    Saw this advertised as the 'word of mouth' must see film - must set the sky box for it!

    Read an article about this film yonks ago so watched it the other night - very good. I thought it was scary, funny, creepy but most of all sad. The husband describing what catfish are at the end and describing his wife in that way was so poignant.

    Totally agree DeweyDaze, I was surprised by how sad and touching the story was.
