Luckiest Girl Alive

miaparker shared a tip "It’s not a movie I’d go pay to see & it’s not a happy subject, but THE ENDING (Ani’s penultimate & the most sarcastic and #self_empowering line in the movie) IS THE BEST: “Excuse me, I’m so sorry, I would love to stay in touch, but I already forgot your name…. Oh that’s okay, I’ll just remember you as the woman I told to go F**K herself on 5th Avenue.” #satisfying #greatending #empowering #empoweringfemales"

daniella_2577 shared a tip "10/10 🌟 Truly inspirational to see women stand up and speak up on their abuse(s). Shows how stereotypes and the idea of external people have on influencing our everyday lives and how we deal with our traumas. #feminism #feministmovies"

gayane- shared a tip "Wow this movie was so sad but I’m so happy to see her coming out strong at the end and telling her story. Knowing she helped so many other women and finally got what she wanted in her life and career shows it’s never too late to tell your story. Great movie!"

RicoLoveDinero shared a tip "Never read the book or knew too many details about this film. But I was looking forward too it merely off the lead actors alone. Didn’t know the film would turn out to be a exploitive concoction of flashbacks, victim blaming ,rape,school shootings and so much more. There are two timelines and one literally takes place in 1999 around the same time as the Columbine shooting. If you went to school around this time it’s ingrained in your memory. (I can still remember what class I was in) Personally I hate seeing school shootings used as a plot device to drive the narrative in films today. The whole tone of the film feels like a cheap version of Gone Girl mixed with Promising Young Woman two films I hold in very high regard. I can say the performances were better than the film itself. But I guess this is what happens when you try to adapt a best selling book and cram it into a 2 hour Netflix film. It starts off in the right direction until the reveal and after that it seems to fumble the ball. I guess you can blame the script because the story ultimately tells an empty, self-serving fantasy. I can see people calling this a great movie for all the clichés and wrong reasons. I get the message but this film is far from amazing."

melly_loveee shared a tip "*Spoiler Warning* I didn’t read or even hear about the book before watching this film, but I did like the film. I liked the whole acceptance of herself to herself, but I was confused to why she planned the whole massacre and in the end killed her “friend”. The mom was a very dislikable character and the lead actress her younger character actress I didn’t like her because of her previous role, but she did a good job. Overall the movie gives a good message on the subject and the acting was good."

mare_oku shared a tip "I think the movie was really well composed, especially cause it's about such a sensitive subject. They were careful to reveal bits and pieces without confusing the viewer or completely overwhelming with a huge dump of sudden triggering scenes. That's not to say the plot wont enrage/eat at you, it will but it does so more because all the ugliness in it is entirely real, and disheartening. The amount of disrespect people have for one another is always appalling, but we'd be fools to pretend today's world has changed. Definitely recommend, but do mentally/emotionally prepare for the topics at hand if needed !"

chaileymichelle shared a tip "This movie is about healing, growth, and vindication. It’s inspiring and honest. Mila Kunis is incredible in this movie and I would highly recommend."

trameeee shared a tip "Check the trigger warnings before watching this but WOW this is an incredible movie!! I cried at the end. Love the cast! I love this movie and their message that is giving💪🏼"

vito_lupedee shared a tip "I give Mila Kunis props for her superb acting in this film. Probably the most dramatic role I've seen her do and she did it very well. That being said, I didn't care for the movie overall. I found it to be sad and depressing and didn't care for all the flashback scenes. I give it a 5/10."

VixLe shared a tip "Exquisite! Brutally honest. Heart wrenching and intense. I thought this was going to be a film that I would semi-like, that would be slightly overrated and based on a popular book with an unlikeable main character. I was completely wrong on my first impression and I absolutely loved it. This has a lot of depth on all levels. I’m so glad that more films are branching out to portray actual human complexity, significant issues, psychological contexts, and finally shying away from “perfectly imperfect” main characters who have no basis in reality or emotional depth. Spoilers beyond this point ******************* *******************The main character is dealing with lots of trauma and some PTSD symptoms. The depictions of people pleasing, not wanting to be vulnerable, and simultaneous intense criticism of oneself and others was accurately depicted from a psych context after the main character grew up with a highly critical and abusive parent, who was primarily concerned with appearances and wealth. This film examined many issues that are often intertwined but conveniently left out when examining power dynamics, parenting, sexual assault, bullying, classism, dehumanization, narcissism, and more. Trigger Warnings for sexual assault, eating disorders, mass shooting gun violence, etc. 5 Stars ⭐️"

valerie_lopez_3060 shared a tip "Phenomenal movie, Mila Kunis and Chiara Aurelia did an amazing job. I cried several times. Definitely one of my top favorite movies."

amy_santi shared a tip "First Of All Please Please Check Trigger Warnings Second There Is A Major Graphic Assualt Scene Since I Cant Use The R Word Here Most Likely So Please Proceed With Caution That Being Said This Movie Was Beautiful Potent Riveting Intense As A Survivor Myself This Movie Really Is A Honest Representation Lastly Applause To Mila Kunis For Her Outstanding Performance And The Younger Girl That Played The Past Scenes"

adrienne_aldridge shared a tip "*TW: rape, school shooting- hard to watch. I thought this movie was really, really good. Maybe one of the best I’ve seen in a while. I haven’t read the book, but I feel like something was missing? Or maybe I just wanted to see more. Regardless, really great acting and very well done."

iva_earl shared a tip "Other than finding the actor that played the younger version of the Mika Kunis role to be really good, I was disappointed. Trailer seemed to make it out as a mystery. Like she is trying to figure out what happened to her in the past. But she isn’t. She knows what happened. It’s no mystery. It is horrendous but not a “who done it”. I guess you could say it’s just about her finally admitting to her fiancé and mother exactly what happened. So as a result one of those relationships changes and we really don’t find out what happens to the other relationship. Again, rather disappointing."

nicola_bishop shared a tip "It had too many things going on at once. Very hard to follow. I love Mila Kunis and Connie Britton but what a poor use of their talent"

jacquelyn_rafert shared a tip "I had high hopes for this story but it really fell flat with me. It feels like and episode of Law and Order SVU. I also think it doesn’t address current gun control issues with enough care and consideration. Swing and a miss."

m_s_2645 shared a tip "Excellent movie. Mila Kunis did phenomenal job. I'm an INFJ, I watch just any old show that tackles the subject of the sexual assault of women, (imo writers seem to throw it randomly into way too many storylines.) But this was so well done. Right up there with Unbelievable. I love that they didn't wrap up Ani's story with a perfect fake little bow. The story unfolded well and the characters were great."

jen_G_ shared a tip "FYI: This is a movie about sexual assault. I didn’t know that before I watched it. The story was powerful and almost too real. Outstanding acting by Mila Kunis!"

wajwilliams shared a tip "Liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I see myself in Ani. Being the person others expect you to be. #drama #mystery #decade2020"

alexis_fiore shared a tip "The book is always better 🥸 Mila Kunis's role was misleading and confusing. Definitely worth the watch but all over the place, to say the least. Thoughts?"

lattesbooksandblankets shared a tip "This movie was a great emotional bag. Anger, sadness and frustration. As the plot progresses you really emphasize with Ani, you understand the mask she hids behind. You get hooked with this character & all throughout wait to see how she finally unravels and her actual thoughts spill."

cwm shared a tip "It’s odd but I liked the movie more than the book. I didn’t like the book much at all, the narrator seemed like too much of a bitch…but mila kunis gives her some humanity."

jenn_paine shared a tip "Very compelling story, great acting and good writing. Definitely worth a watch. Mila Kunis nails the role of a woman who doesn't really know who she is and aims to please everyone around her by hiding her own trauma"

sandy_joseph_4766 shared a tip "This movie is amazing! It’s inspirational, reality based and motivational. It gives victims a voice and allows them to be seen. It’s amazing that Mika Kunis’s character was still trying to find her self through it all and finally decided to stick up for herself. She decided to be proud of herself for herself and not anyone else. Director did a good job, actors and production. Also, it was never boring and had a great point of view from the victims perspective. It’s a must watch!"

sergio_hernandez_pa shared a tip "Liked the comment about the roles and stereotypes in society, how to rebel to them and the search for doing what makes you happy."

veronika_mourgides shared a tip "This is not a mystery, nor a thriller. This is a movie about a girl who endured trauma as a teenager. Absolutely nothing about it is a thriller. Terrible plot and the ending was awful. They should have decided whether the shooting or the rape was more important. I guess they went with rape, but in doing so they made the shooting completely insignificant."

julia_bonds_3367 shared a tip "I liked this movie however I think it should have came with a warning. This movie has explicit content that was very hard to watch and there were points where I had to pause or walk away. This could be triggering for some individuals and I think it’s shocking that there was no warning."

lauren_goforth_5968 shared a tip "TW: rape/school shootings. I loved it. I experienced these things in my life and the movie ended in her being so empowered in her situations. It was amazing. I cried, laughed, stopped breathing, and processed my own trauma. Can’t recommend it enough."

amber_midulla shared a tip "Fantastic movie. Very touchy subjects though so make sure your aware of the topic first. Sad truths made in this movie but it points out things that need to be talked about more in society and how a womans word should be valued more than it was in the past and is today."

asmr_barbie shared a tip "Amazing acting by Mila Kunis ✨With a story line that breaks your heart, I find it similar to 13 reasons why in sense 💔Bless anyone who has dealt with S/A. This is something that sticks with you, so be warned, it’s very graphic💔"

mlhawkins shared a tip "I would first say this movie should have a lot of trigger warnings (rape, school shooting, and violence). This movie is amazing! For thirty-eight years she is victimized for a gang rape and school shooting. It’s about her regaining her reins and taking her power and control back. Powerful movie! For so many rape victims it’s hard for us to talk about. Most rapes go unreported and we just want to forget but it never leaves us. We never forget the ‘nitty-gritty’. I don’t want to say this was a good movie because it was hard to watch because of the triggers but it had such a powerful message. Glad I stuck through watching the rest of it."

maril_girton shared a tip "Extremely heart wrenching story. Wonderfully done and incredible story telling through the way they shot the scenes from the past and present. It’s a heavy film but a phenomenal watch."

tianna_lewis_5384 shared a tip "OH MY GOSH!!! This movie gave me freaking GOOSEBUMPS! Such a hard watch at times, but such a beautiful freaking story. Mila Kunis and Chiara Aurelia did PHENOMENAL! Wish I could give them the biggest hug for shinning light on such a powerful topic. 100/10 recommend."

laura_heibs shared a tip "Didn't know what this was about and it definitely took a turn from the murder-mystery I thought I was getting into... Great ending but something about the way the flashbacks were presented bothered me."

brooke_csaky shared a tip "I feel like this book started slow and I never got into it. By the time the twist happened I had no interest. It just felt like it drug out and the end felt kind of rushed and out of place. Just not my thing"

sheila_willis_2538 shared a tip "Just okay for me. I was so looking forward to this movie, but it wasn’t as good as I expected.. I think the previews were a little misleading, but if you haven’t watched the previews I suggest you don’t before seeing the movie. I also didn’t care for the narration throughout the movie. Still though, worth a watch. 🙂"

leegoe shared a tip "Wowie! Mila Kunis killed this role. —from start to finish! Sad but also empowering. From a tragedy, PTSD and a life of “fake it till you make it” type living, she came out on top! Not because of anyone else’s doing but her own. This is a great film! ⚠️read warnings before⚠️"

lisa_jo_girodat shared a tip "So very Intense … best if you’ve read the book first as Jessica Knoll wrote both the book and screenplay. Be open to a different ending as the author validates the trauma in her life through these two mediums to tell her story."

guy_mograbi shared a tip "Not a mystery or a thriller. The acting is great, the story is great but dragged too much in my opinion and time jumping coerced. This movie is trying to be something it is not. This is pure drama."

julianna_leavell_6708 shared a tip "This movie was sooo good! I read the book years ago, and kind of forgot what it was about. I can tell you right now the movie was much much better than the book! Mila Kunis was excellent!"
