Perhaps the film’s main achievement is the delicate balance struck with the central characterįirst-time feature directors Noah Dixon and Ori Segev are clearly familiar with the world in which Poser is set - they cut their teeth shooting music videos - a fact which is evident both in the authenticity of the film’s milieu and in the occasional sly digs that the filmmakers take at that world. A friendship develops between the two, only to be torpedoed when it becomes clear that the voice and identity that Lennon has started to adopt is not her own - a cardinal sin in a scene which prizes credibility and originality above all else. But Lennon is nothing if not enterprising: hosting her own podcast focused on the city’s underground culture provides an entree into the cool circles, at the centre of which is Bobbi Kitten (playing herself), the charismatic lead singer of the band Damn The Witch Siren. Introverted and gauche, Lennon (Sylvie Mix) is permanently on the outside, looking in on a world which seems far beyond her social reach. The real-life alternative music scene of Columbus, Ohio provides a treacherously hip backdrop to this intriguing psychodrama about fitting in and finding a voice.
