A Successful Journalist Finds a Bloody Good Way to Deal with Online Trolls in the Blackly Comic Thriller, THE COLUMNIST, Arriving on DVD on May 11, 2021 from Film Movement.
Femke Boot (Katja Herbers) is a columnist who is obsessed with reading the endless abusive messages and death threats posted about her on social media. This obsession consumes her life and prevents her from concentrating on the novel she has promised to her publisher. One day, all her pent-up anger and frustration explode in a moment of shocking and unexpected violence. When this brutal and bloody act inspires Femke to write again, she surrenders to her rage and begins to lead a double life as a daytime writer and nighttime murderer.
Certified fresh by Rotten Tomatoes with more than 60+ reviews, THE COLUMNIST, from director Ivo van Aart, has become a critical favorite with both reviewers and audiences alike. The thriller “has a biting wit that feels very reflective of the current moment and Femke is a fantastic showcase for Herbers,” writes Joe Lipsett of Bloody Disgusting.com. And Caitlin Kennedy of Film Inquiry said, “In a word, The Columnist is striking….There is intent and intellect behind [the film] that makes it an utterly irresistible watch.”
