On January 14th, 2007, 14-year-old Megan Stewart disappeared. Three weeks later, her 13-year-old best friend Amy Herman also vanished. Assembled from video chats, webcam footage, home videos and news reports, this is what happened in the days immediately before, and after, Megan went missing. (texte officiel du distributeur)

It wants to be socially aware, realistic and oppressive, but instead, it gradually becomes annoying, boring and ridiculous, though until the last few minutes, it’s also a little oppressive and intense. If the fourteen year-old protagonist didn’t behave like such a slut (though I get that one of the goals of the film is to warn about how something like this can happen to a child), her fate would have a bigger effect on the viewer, but this way it’s just unpleasant and numbing on all fronts. ()
With a rather nice surprise, we were presented with an average, unpretentious, edgy matter from an environment where young girls who do not behave optimally for their age easily find themselves at this time. (Not that they looked so young. I would guess about three years older.) I didn't mind the informal tone; on the contrary, I was pleased that in this case, FF was approached in a somewhat refreshing way. Acting-wise, it was occasionally overplayed by the more prominent character, but so be it. There were not many depressing shots or torture scenes either, but when there were, I must say, it was worth it. After a long time, I turned my head away from the monitor. The heavy pressures did not evoke any particular feelings in me; it just looked realistic. However, I wasn't misled. I also have no complaints. It was shot very simply and mainly serves viewers as routine. Three stars from me. ()
A film full of nonsense and gratuitous manipulation. I won’t question the fact that there are young girls (and not only girls) who in this online age unknowingly fall in the hands of masochistic assholes, but I seriously doubt the way this naive attempt wants to tell us about it – the whole thing looks as unconvincing as Trump’s comb-over. The way it pushes Amy, the only normal character, into the position of a looser is a clear prototype of mechanical cynicism, and the found-footage format is just stupid – really, would a killer film the last hours of their victim with a camera belonging to said victim, only to throw it in a public bin? It talks about a tragedy, but that tragedy is not only awfully exploited, but it doesn’t say anything. And it’s also lethally boring, even in the “shocking” twist. ()
