Short description

Frankie, who works in a Los Angeles bar and films street life on her phone in her spare time, meets Link, an eccentric man who wears a mascot costume for a living. A clip she shoots of him draws far more attention than anything she has posted before, and she persuades him to make videos with her. A former colleague from the bar joins them as a writer, and their channel becomes a sudden success, opening the way to internet fame that threatens to damage both Frankie and Link.

Gia Coppola directed and co-wrote the film with Tom Stuart, her second feature after Palo Alto and before The Last Showgirl. Andrew Garfield, who also produced, plays Link opposite Maya Hawke as Frankie; Nat Wolff, Jason Schwartzman, Johnny Knoxville and Alexa Demie appear in supporting roles. The production, made on a budget of about five million dollars, was an American production.

The film drew a mixed response. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.1 from roughly 6,500 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 6.4 from a much smaller number of ratings, and a critics' rating of 5.2 from three dozen reviews sits close to the audience score on IMDb.

What's left behind the scenes

  • According to the film's director and screenwriter, Gia Coppola, the character Link is based on Nicolas Cage, who is her second cousin.
