Alexander Not So Great (2013)
Alexander, a self-absorbed aspiring model and internet personality, spirals into delusion and self-pity after being dumped by his girlfriend for someone “much less impressive.” What begins as a diary of self-reflection soon mutates into performative egoism as Alexander tries to rebrand his heartbreak into an aesthetic. But the camera catches what he won’t admit — that his obsession isn’t with love, but with the idea of being seen as great. As Alexander's online persona grows more unhinged, hallucinations blur with reality. He records performative breakdowns, fakes emotional confessions, and eventually spirals into a monologue where his reflection mocks him.
