Production

Ronan Corrigan began developing the film during the isolation period of the COVID-19 pandemic and wanted to portray the time when he played a lot on the PC when he was younger.

Reception

In his review for Variety, Siddhant Adlakha said that "the result is a genuinely funny and ultimately heart-pounding production, with an executions that feels like a heist itself." At IndieWire, Christian Zilko rated it with a "B" saying that "the internet is the closest thing these teenage cyberthieves have to a real life, and Corrigan’s dopamine onslaught of a film is an authentic portrait of the most alive they’ve ever been."
Despite not liking found footage or fake docs, Pedro Martin posted a positive review on ScreenAnarchy because of the characters: "is a good movie, despite its screenlife styly but what appeals to me most about the movie are the characters."
At Deadline Hollywood, Pete Hammond said that "for my money, this is hands down the best Screenlife movie yet, a dazzling marriage of online skill, clever storytelling, brilliant editing and acting within the confines of your computer screen that rivals the best of any heist film in recent years."
