Spoilers:-

Well I've no reason not to believe you but I immediately thought it was a little suspicious, especially since the lead was such an overly photogenic chap. They all seemed to be fairly intelligent lads but it took them a while to even act suspicious despite every photo that was posted looking like a modelling shot, not your typical FB fair.

I also felt they needed to up the sympathy factor at the end otherwise it would be more akin to a post on 4-chan rather than a documentary.

I'm skeptical.

Okay, my friend is a music producer in NY and lived with Nev Schulman for a year. I can confirm this to be true as she has loads of pictures of them together on Facebook. The 3 guys in the film are life long friends and have filmed each other's lives since they were kids. This story randomly unfolded and amazingly had the ending that it does. They didn't expect or manipulate it at all.

I have quite a few friends on Facebook (generally female) who's profile pics look like a modeling portfolio, so that doesn't really stand as evidence for me.

Anyhoo, I guess haters gonna hate. I really liked the film, probably because I knew absolutely nothing about it at all until I watched it. It wasn't until after I posted it on Facebook that I learned my friend lived with the dude. Small world indeed.
