You will receive one of the first tips when dealing with harassment via social media, not to get involved. Don’t commit your attention and time to trolls. Don’t try to dunk on hate bots because it seems natural to fight back. Log off until the storm blows over and go on better than mute irritating accounts. But in the thriller “The Columnist” by Ivo van Aart, our hero is stepping up the tension. By revealing himself at their homes and confronting them. She then battles physical violence against words.
She threatens, at first, to leave social media, but abuse continues to flow. Also, she is trying to report the police harassment, but nobody seems serious about online threats of death and assault. Her fascination with what strangers are saying about her online strains her connection with her school daughter (Claire Porro) and with another new boyfriend (Bram van der Kelen).

The Columnist quiz
The “Columnist” plays on some very serious anxieties and possibilities. The character of Boot changes too as it swings into its vengeance thriller mode.
A journalist who is threatened with death seeks deadly vengeance on the web trolls which make her life a nightmare.
Femke Boot (Katja Herbers) said that “It is not difficult to be sweet,” a journalist whose views on everything that she feels like expressing tend to be the target of internet trolls in social media. In this age of manufactured outrage, it is something that most of us may be concerned with—some of us are more important than others—because anyone says something that we cannot accept, be it political or social (or simply not like a universally praised film), and we feel the necessity to put fingers on keyboards that let everyone know what we feel regardless of the effects of the course of action.
Satirical terror of the Netherlands The columnist recreates the feeling that completely strangers despise the audacity to write something that is irrelevant or affects everyone – to a large extent. Femke takes things into her own hands after that as she gets rather proficient at shipping her opponents.
About the quiz
A month before the eventual “Promising Young Woman” of Emerald Fennell, a twin bowed tonally in her Native Netherlands at the Sundance Film Festival of 2020, when Ivo van Aart first arrived in his native country in December 2019, a brittle and occasionally violent “The Columnist.” Two years later (and one Oscar for Fennell) the favorite festival of van Aart finally became more widely available, and while inspiring comparisons of many kinds, its ambitious combination of horror and comedy, set within hyper-contemporary problems, making it a superb complement to Fennel’s film.
And while the whole thing is good in terms of fitness and beginnings, there is a jumpy, rapid feeling and an overwhelming need to get the meat (and gore) of a plot that requires more footing.
It starts well enough, as van Aart plunges us into the world of Femke Boot (Katja Herbers who might go on to become Carey Mulligan’s sister “The Promising Young Woman,” let’s create that movie). In the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant, Femke gained her fame with her weekly letters, but she has also become something for a certain class of readers as a punching bag.
