Rating: 3/5 --
In the truth it finds, Catfish is a sad and troubling film that avoids cynicism.

Little White Lies
CATFISH was built to charm, not indict, and on that front it makes for a diverting seriocomic wade into the pitfalls of Internet-based immediacy...

Rating: 4/5 --
It really is an intriguing modern tale of communication, intimacy, self-knowledge and the web: a great companion to The Social Network.

Rating: 3.4/5 --
The ironic snark of the film's first half bleeds away and is replaced by a humanistic compassion that no measure of technological advancement can replicate.

Intriguing film about trust, privacy, redemption, life-choices and circumstances. Do not, I repeat, do not let anyone tell you what this film is about past the guys trekking their way to Michigan...

Sarah's Backstage Pass
3.5 out of 4 stars -- [A] fresh and intriguing experience....This suspenseful documentary about a virtual friendship could be a companion piece to the upcoming THE SOCIAL NETWORK.
USA Today
CATFISH's strength lies in its editing. Visually it integrates ne online media in a way that many films have tried and failed to do.

Product Description:
Love and identity become twisted across the lines of the Internet in this documentary from filmmakers Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. Nev Schulman is a photographer who one day received a surprising e-mail message -- Abby, an eight-year-old girl in Michigan, had seen his picture in a newspaper and wanted permission to paint a portrait from it. Nev gave his OK, and when he was given a copy of the painting, he was struck by how good it was, assuming that the girl was either a genius or a fraud. Nev tried to contact Abby's family, and somehow ended up in contact with Megan, Abby's sexy 19-year-old sister. As Nev fell into an increasingly complicated on-line relationship with Megan, he decided it was time to meet her in person, but when he traveled to Michigan and tracked her down, Nev learned that Abby and Megan's family were not at all what he expected them to be. Ariel Schulman, Nev's brother, began filming his brother's adventures from his first contact with Abby, and in CATFISH he and Henry Joost tell this strange story from beginning to end. CATFISH received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
