A perfect companion piece to The Social Network, Catfish is one of those films that the less you know going in, the better. The documentary follows Nev Schulman, a New York photographer who strikes up a Facebook relationship with an eight-year-old Michigan girl and her family. Filmed on digital video by Nev's brother Ariel and their friend Henry Joost, Catfish is a fascinating study of human interaction in this modern world. A little more editing could have bolted this into the 4-star range, but still, one of most interesting films I've seen in a while.
