The Dark Side of Digital Obsession
Have you ever scrolled through someone's social media and felt like you knew them intimately? In "A Touch of Jen," this common behavior spirals into something far more sinister. At its heart lies the disturbing relationship between Remy and Alicia, a couple whose connection is built entirely around their shared obsession with Jen, a former coworker of Remy's. Their intimate moments revolve around elaborate role-playing where Alicia pretends to be Jen, complete with discussions of her "freckled boobs" and "adult braces." After sex, they lie in bed scrolling through Jen's vacation photos on separate phones, analyzing every shadow and detail with religious devotion. Their fixation extends beyond the bedroom into every aspect of their lives. When Alicia finds a thrift store halter top resembling one Jen once wore, Remy buys it on the condition she only wears it at home, where he can "superimpose" his memory of Jen onto her. Their relationship exists in this strange limbo-neither fully with each other nor with the object of their obsession. The power dynamic between them shifts constantly, with Remy cruelly joking that he shares a "mystical connection" with Jen rather than with Alicia, revealing the toxic foundation upon which their relationship is built.
