	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"It’s the sort of timely satire that could click with younger audiences."
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"[It's] often sharply amusing, crisply assembled (...) Sometimes the characters’ motivations feel just a little too opaque and their decisions seem more motivated by plot mechanics than real human desires."
		Steve Pond The Wrap	"Spicer has a deft touch with his story, and his cast marvelously fleshes out a bunch of people we care about even though in most cases we know we probably shouldn’t."
		Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"It’s rare that a comedy makes you reconsider your own actions on social media."
		David D'Arcy Screendaily	"Just as the writers can’t get beyond the atmosphere and the mostly retread gags of a boilerplate Los Angeles, they can’t get their characters past the point of an Instagram hangover that follows flashes of internet celebrity"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Aubrey Plaza dazzles (...) Ingrid is explored with more depth and nuance (...) There’s savage humor here but also piercing sadness (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Christopher Gray Slant	"The characters that result are undeniably shallow, but they're recognizable and sneakily fascinating (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[It] shows plenty of promise, but missteps in conflating social media with mental illness (...) The movie never digs beneath the most obvious layers of its L.A. stereotypes."
