Two performers pull this Ohio-set drama in opposite directions: one hesitant and watchful, the other magnetic enough to draw an entire scene toward her.
What is Poser about?
Lennon stays at the edges of Columbus's thriving indie music scene, quietly hoping for a real connection that might finally pull her into its inner circle. That opening arrives through Bobbi Kitten, one half of a well-regarded indie pop duo, whose confidence and presence make her an obvious point of fascination. As Bobbi takes Lennon under her wing, the relationship shifts from mentorship into something closer to fixation, with Lennon's admiration curdling into a preoccupation she cannot fully control. Directed by Ori Segev and Noah Dixon, the film moves through rehearsal spaces, house shows and late-night hangouts that make up a local scene, using that setting as the backdrop for a story about wanting to belong badly enough to lose track of where observation ends and obsession begins.
About the cast
Sylvie Mix plays Lennon opposite Bobbi Kitten, appearing largely as herself within the fictional scene, with Aujolie Baker, Amber Falter, Angela Jernigan, Drew Johnson, Rachel Keefe and Ariel Peguero filling out the musicians and regulars who populate the film's version of the Columbus scene.
Context & significance
Poser sits at the meeting point of music film and psychological drama, using a real local indie scene as its setting to ask what happens when admiration for an artist stops being about the music and becomes about proximity to them. Its music genre framing matters here: the film treats the scene itself, its venues, its unspoken hierarchies, its regulars, as a character in its own right, not simply a backdrop for a troubled friendship. That grounding gives the story's more unsettling turns a documentary-adjacent texture, since much of what surrounds the two leads is drawn from an actual, functioning music community rather than an invented one.
