Self-obsessed Instagram fitness guru Sylwia (Magdalena Koleśnik) never lets up in her battle to maintain her hard-won influencer status, appeasing her sponsors by continually updating her 600,000 followers about the minutiae of her daily life. But there’s a vulnerability and loneliness at the centre of Sylwia’s existence. No matter: this too can be exploited and manipulated in the cause of going viral.
Essentially an old-fashioned ‘price of fame’ drama updated to the influencer era, Swedish writer/director Magnus von Horn‘s timely drama has won particular praise for the central performance by Magdalena Koleśnik. “In her first leading role, Kolesnik is as irresistible as an energy bar, exploring the Insta-queen’s shallow depths with cunning sincerity,” remarked the Hollywood Reporter.
