Catfish (2010)
It’s difficult to know if the filmmakers made this documentary in real time, or if they recreated some scenes that take place early in the film. It also doesn’t matter much, as the story intrigues, with enough twists and turns to maintain interest levels. An inevitable but—in some details—surprising conclusion makes this more of a Facebook zeitgeist flick than The Social Network.
