_**Feminist vigilante thriller or a portrait of modern teen girl angst?**_ A teenager (Sarah Rich) is filled with anger over her sister’s death from a year prior. Since the hands of the authorities are tied, she seeks to find the mystery man on the internet responsible. James Hetfield costars, um, I mean Marc Menchaca. “#Like” (2019) is a drama/thriller that tackles online harassment, anger, frustration, vengeance, victimization and the problems that naturally proceed from faulty detective work. It’s not just a “feminist” film because it’s balanced about the struggles of life in a fallen world, whether female or male. It’s an Indie that meshes elements of “Misery” (1990), “10 Cloverfield Lane” (2016), "Wildflower" (2014), “A Dark Place” (2018) and “The Clovehitch Killer” (2018). The open-ended climax is a bit of a letdown because it comes across as a shrug, but everything the writer/director wanted to say was successfully conveyed; and the details of how certain things pan out are irrelevant. The protagonist’s lesson is the viewer’s. The worst thing about this flick is that it’s strapped with a lame title. The film runs 1 hour, 32 minutes, and was shot in Woodstock, New York. GRADE: B
