Spree

Spree is a joyride through the sinister side effects of social media.

Not as smart as it could be, but an entertaining ride.

This is all very clever and it completely works, but it does require a certain amount of effort.

You do know exactly where this film is going to head, but I was on board. Even the detours were fun for me.

Just about every aspect of Spree has a layered meaning, including the title itself...

The charm of Keery's performance goes only so far, however, and the film is repetitive and blank, with little of interest to say about social media, modern life, or even loneliness.

Spree is a pointed indictment of social media obsession, but it is often as shallow as the influencers it criticizes. Still, Joe Keery makes this a film worth watching.

Spree walks a fine line, but is able to find the balance, and stand out as a well crafted and inspired effort.

Maybe it's not a five-star ride, but Spree earns its tip.

Spree isn't as clever as it thinks it is, but most will find it a bloody entertaining take on the like-based reality we're living in.
