Sarah Pirozek‘s indie #LIKE, described as a feminist noir thriller, will finally arrive on VOD platforms January 26, 2021, Bloody learned.
Starring Sarah Rich, her performance is said to “evoke those of Ellen Page in Hard Candy and Matilda Lutz in Revenge.” The film premiered at the Brooklyn Film Festival in 2019.
Woodstock teen Rosie (Rich) is mourning the first anniversary of her younger sister Amelia’s death, when she discovers that the mysterious man (Marc Menchaca, “Ozark”, “Homeland”) who sexploited and bullied her sister into committing suicide, is back online trolling for new victims. After the authorities refuse to get involved, Rosie discovers a darker side she never knew she had as she takes justice into her own hands.
Interestingly, “American Horror Story’s” Denis O’Hare provided this quote in support of the film: “#LIKE is a taut observation of teen sexuality and paranoia at the intersection of #MeToo and the unpoliced borders of cyber life, blessed with a stellar break-out performance by Sarah Rich.”
