New Showbiz Analysis

Likemeback is a focused character study that emphasizes the female experience and the psychological impacts of the digital age. Its strength lies in its depiction of women's ability to drive the story and its critique of how social media shapes human connections. However, the film lacks diversity in terms of race, disability, and explicit LGBTQ+ identities. It remains centered around a primarily Eurocentric cast and a narrow demographic scope.

Official Synopsis

Just out of high school, Lavinia, Carla and Danila leave for a yachting holiday. Accompanied only by a skipper, the three of them sail along the Croatian coast at the start of a new stage in their lives. Full of dreams, free and laid-back, they are unaware that sharing everything on the social media is about to transform their holiday into a brutal rite of passage to adulthood in which nothing, especially their friendship, will ever be the same again.
