Storyline

- TriviaIn a 2022 interview with Filmmaker Magazine, Jane Schoenbrun spoke about the origins of the New Year's Eve scene: "I filmed that on a camcorder. I made my partner drive with me upstate, and we spent New Year's bumming around Saugerties quietly, mapping out the path and figuring out exactly how to time it so that I could start filming at 11:57 and hit the center of town right as the countdown actually began. It really was this 'You get one shot' sort of deal. I had gone to an Airbnb up in Saugerties over New Year's a couple years earlier. I was sick as a dog, spent that entire weekend lying around feeling terrible and didn't leave this Airbnb for three days except at midnight. I staggered out, went to the town and saw this very charming, small-town version of the Times Square ball drop. After I saw that, I was like, 'I need to work that into a movie someday.' The idea that Casey would be there filming was one of the early ideas for this film. The loneliness of being in a crowd of people and feeling like you can say whatever you want because no one is listening, or is even aware you're there, is a big part of that scene. Also, so many of the kids hanging around half a block away from the center of that party we were filming WERE Casey. It was like, 'Oh yeah, there are Caseys EVERYWHERE in towns like this.'"

Featured review
Films are a subjective medium, therefore the interpretations can vary depending on who is watching and what kind of background they are coming from. I had read reviews from other critics suggesting that this might be a direct reference to creepypasta obsession or a general tendency of the naive youth who incline toward such supernatural happenings.
While I do not completely refute this set of statements, yet, with all due respect, I beg to differ. The film doesn't reflect any single obsession towards a particular subject, there's a broader thing at play, it is about this relentless infatuation with finding relevancy on the internet, finding comfort, or finding much-needed solace in the virtual space.
The narrative won't carry much weight for the people who hadn't experienced true loneliness, who hadn't had to endure the extreme ends of existential dread, who didn't suffer from any sort of depression, anxiety, or had to deal with a suicidal mindset, very rarely I say this but I will be much happier if you aren't able to relate.
To those who could, this message is for you...
I know life is hard, it's difficult dealing with the pain, at times it becomes intolerable, this pain becomes so excruciating that we often think of letting it all go, to disappear, I know, I had gone through that phase. To whoever reading this, just be aware that you are not alone in this battle, there are millions of people around the globe like you, trying to find their own places, their own identities. I just want you to hang on, keep going, keep fighting, trust me, you can overcome it, I know you will, till that day arrives, don't give up.
