Influencers jonesing for likes and spikes in the look-at-me economy of social media: This is the milieu of the caustic social satire about a young psychopathic rideshare driver trying to get his pathetic follower numbers up by starting a killing spree. Stranger Thingsstar Joe Keery plays Kurt a.k.a. KurtsWorld96 with manic and desperate force, forever trapped in a downward spiral of feedback loops, hashtags, and refollow campaigns, while Spree—filmed for the most part on GoPro and camera phone—ruthlessly deconstructs the social media world. A film du jour.
