Have you ever thought about the consequences of your actions on social media? This movie is a lesson in exactly that.

In this movie, an ambitious young woman, desperate for followers and fame, fakes a trip to Paris to up her social media presence. A real life bombing takes place in Paris and that becomes a part of her imaginary trip. Her white lie becomes a moral dilemma as she becomes the poster face of that tragedy.

This movie perfectly captures the vapid and surface-deep culture that has been cultivated in Gen-Z due to social media. Everybody and their mothers are running after their fifteen minutes of fame.

This film gets a lot of things right such as Gen-Z’s collective desensitisation and how we uphold a glamorous image over honesty.

It also has dialogues with the internet slangs we use which are just god awful to hear in the movie. It really makes you rethink using the whole twitter lingo.

The film brushes upon the fascination Gen-Z has with pretending to have mental illnesses and portraying trauma where there isn’t any.

Not Okay rightfully shows how hollow, toxic and downright horrible social media has become. It was once a tool for empowerment, now it is just used to take advantage of people.

The premise of the movie is serious yet it never fully commits to its graveness. It is a fun, light-hearted watch.

The protagonist is VERY unlikable and cringy. If I could use one image to describe her, it would be this :

The movie smartly tackles social media culture in this satire. I think everyone should see this because this movie is one of those important ones that come around once every few years. Movies that make you think.

If this movie was a Taylor Swift song, it would be All Too Real.
