Those who are upset that the movie doesn't "resolve" anything don't get the point of the film. The main problem, stolen identity, is resolved when Lola/Alice deletes her account. Her choice to recreate her account under a different persona is part of that resolution. Maybe you missed it, but the conversation between Alice and her mom while her mom does Alice's makeup at the end makes this clear. Mom to Alice: "are you sure you want to do this?" Alice to mom: "yes mom" Mom: "and if it happens again?" Alice: "then I'll make another one. And another one and another one". This is part of the solution. Cam is an abstract horror film, it's not going to focus on the what and why. We don't find out what stole Alice's identity or why or how, because that's not the point. Cam was created to shed light on the dangers of sex work, specifically for cam girls. Yes, the stolen identity has a supernatural/cyber horror element to it, but the message is clear, and the message is woven through every scene. Camming, and sex work in general, has risks. Your family can find out and shun you, you may not be treated appropriately by law enforcement if you seek their help, you may acquire a stalker, a client you thought was a good person can turn violent and possessive (especially meeting irl). I was totally into this movie. Madeline Brewer sells her role wonderfully and the portrayal of a cam girl is definitely realistic (aside, of course, from the cyber robot that steals her face. But stolen identity is still a common issue).
