Lurker @ The Phoenix

The trailer looks really intriguing, and certainly timely with it being about celebrity obsession. The film starts at 20:15 and I'll be in the cafe from 19:30 if anyone fancies a pre-film drink. I'll also hang around afterwards for us to share our thoughts.

From from The Phoenix website:

Alex Russell’s (writer/producer of The Bear) directorial debut is an unsettling thriller about a fan who worms his way into his favourite musician’s life.

When rising pop star Oliver encounters retail worker Matthew, it’s the start of a perfect bromance. But as Matthew ingratiates himself into Oliver’s inner circle, the lines between friendship and obsession begin to blur, with dire consequences. This unsettling and timely portrait of parasocial celebrity obsession by Russell evokes outstanding performances from rising stars Archie Madekwe and Théodore Pellerin.
