‘Poser’ Review: A Thrilling Debut Set in the Columbus, OH Indie Music Scene
Noah Dixon and Ori Segev’s “Poser” is a confident film that melds fact and fiction and fuses multiple genres together to create a tense, compelling and thorny exploration of the relationship between creators and their hangers-on. Organized around podcast episodes that Lennon (Sylvie Mix) creates as a way to ingratiate herself within the Columbus, OH underground music scene, the film takes its title quite literally — playing up the awkward, and ultimately anxious interactions she has with indie musicians before trying to become one of them, creating some music of her own.
