Ok watch
If you are someone who could be disturbed by people being horrible to each other... you probably shouldn't watch it. But I thought it was a well made film and enjoyable for the acid tongue thoughts of the main character which narrates the film.
The main character Ani has it all. She is a super thin babe who writes for a magazine in New York. Her fiancé is rich - old money rich - and she is about to be married. But you can tell by her narration she hates the world she is in. Ani is "famous" or infamous for an incident that took place at her high school... a school shooting that the public knows her as a hero in, but doesn't know half the story. And hiding that story has made Ani the way she is. Over the course of 5 weeks before her wedding, a documentary film maker wants to have Ani participate in a documentary about the incident and this opens the floodgates for Ani to finally stop hiding. - kosmasp - 7 September 2023
Deal with it
No pun intended - we all have our own way to deal with stuff. And the time we need to process things. There's never someone else that should tell anyone, how one should feel and when they should feel that. Like the phrase women hear way too often (you should smile more). No just no - while I myself like to smile and like to make others feel safe and comfortable around me (and like to entertain most of the time), I know that I don't always feel that way myself.
I mostly put a clown face on and just go on with it. But that is my way of dealing with things. That does not have to apply with others. The dark thoughts our main character has here ... almost remind us of her American Psycho sequel role she once inherited .... or whatever you would call it. But there is more to her - Mila Kunis has to stretch her acting muscles for this. It is not enough to just look pretty (which is no problem for her at all of course).
Portraying that (inner) struggle - not an easy thing to do. And yet she is able to do it. Another #metoo movie you may ask and squirm a bit ... but it is necessary. You may understand, you may see and feel it anyway ... but some still need to be taught ... and this nuanced effort is another in the right direction!
