“I feel itu0026#39;s entirely plausible, if not to be expected, that a 12 year old submitting this as their AV-homework would subsequently fail the class. Itu0026#39;s the umpteenth disfigured afterbirth created in the attempt to needlessly evolve the found footage genre. u0026#39;Interventionu0026#39; depicts the most civil, insanely well organised, crystal clear videoconference over a buffer-free and flawless connection, where -for the entire agonising duration closing in on two hours- not a single person gets interrupted. Ever.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s this lack of any connection with reality, a theme recurring far too many times, that ultimately makes the film rather painful to sit through. The acting isnu0026#39;t particularly horrendous, the storyline not unacceptable, the character progression no travesty; itu0026#39;s the liberties taken that simply scream u0026quot;This will do fine.u0026quot; Itu0026#39;s the utterly and clearly mechanical movement of the mouse indicator on the main characteru0026#39;s screen, and expecting it not to be noticed. Itu0026#39;s the scene showing all video-chatters vehemently pondering the origin of u0026#39;an arm in a photographu0026#39;, and the main character not noticing the exact same tattoo on the full length of her own entire bare forearm. There are numerous scenes containing a face-palm-worthy discordance between this seemingly hasty, sloppy filmmaking and the frame of reference of anyone alive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnless you thoroughly enjoy making glottal noises at a film less realistic than the sun in Teletubbies, itu0026#39;ll likely be best to refrain from watching u0026#39;Interventionu0026#39;.”
