“Poser” has had quite a strong reception ahead of its official release, with a current 92% on Rotten Tomatoes from twenty-five reviews. Here’s the official synopsis:
Wallflower Lennon Gates (Sylvie Mix) yearns for access to the inner sanctum of the underground music scene in Columbus, Ohio. When she creates a podcast to interview the local artists she adores, Lennon discovers her own musical ambitions, develops a fast friendship with the striking, confident performer Bobbi Kitten, and in the process creates an identity not wholly her own. Soon, Lennon’s aspirations, with some constructive coaxing from Bobbi to find her voice, lead her down a path of dark obsession.
Starring Sylvie Mix, Bobbi Kitten, Abdul Seidu, Rachel Keefe, and Z-Wolf, “Poser” releases in theaters on June 3 in Columbus, Ohio before opening in New York and Los Angeles on June 17. Watch the trailer below.
