Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Cam (2018)

Alice, aka Lola, is a cam girl -- she runs a live video feed of herself while a chat room full of horny dudes watches, comments, tips, and makes requests. Her goal is to climb the rankings to become one of the most popular performers on the "Free Girls Live" site and she's gathered loyal followers who want to help her get there. Until one morning her login doesn't work and she watches a doppelganger take her place onscreen.

Though it falls apart slightly at the reveal, everything to that point was enjoyable. I especially liked getting a peek into the world of internet live chat girls -- kind of how Working Girls took us inside a no-frills brothel. It's just a job with its own perks and annoyances.
