Mila Kunis' character experiences a gang rape as a student and a school shooting. Isn't that too much?
There are films, series and novels that do not have a single plot core. They are the ones who, when one asks who has seen or read them what it is about, the answer bifurcates. With The luckiest girl in the worldwith Mila Kuniswhich quickly subscribers of Netflix they put her on top, it just might happen.
There will be those who will see the gang rape suffered by Ani FaNelli during her student years as a backbone. Others will first have been trapped by the love story between her, now an adult, and her boyfriend. Or upon learning that there has been a school massacre perpetrated by students with guns, choose this subplot.
Everything adds up. Well, the result is not always more, but sometimes it is less.
Mila Kunis stars in the film, based on an experience the author of the original book had. Netflix Pictures
The film pivots in Ani FaNelli's present, and delves into the past. And she doesn't do it to the liking of the protagonist, who has rearranged her life as best she could, she's a moderately successful journalist at a New York women's magazine, she's about to marry a boy from a millionaire family and lives haunted by the shooting - she is the only student she has not spoken about publicly - which is why some saw her as an accomplice.
Rape, he does not speak.
Based on real experience
The truth is that a lot of the plot – like the sexual abuse – was real and happened to Jessica Knoll, author of the novel on which the film is based, for which Knoll herself wrote the screenplay in the adaptation for Netflix.
MIla Kunis and Finn Wittrock ("American Horror Story"), couples planning a big wedding. But…
Jessica wrote in the magazine Cosmopolitan and planned a perfect wedding, characteristics quite similar to the fictional character, who quickly finds headlines with a sexual hook at the request of her editor (Jennifer Beals, almost 40 years after being Alex in lightning dance).
It is therefore not necessary to trivialize the thing, but – and there are sometimes buts – it is necessary to see how this history is transferred, if the cliches abound, if what is highlighted does not end up subtracting instead to add. It has more to do with achievement than with what is counted.
Justine Lipe (“Succession”) is another familiar face that roams the screen.
Englishman Mike Barker, who directed 12 episodes of The servant's taleat the helm of this suspenseful, #MeToo-era drama, in which Kunis takes on the singing voice, sometimes even off-screen, and others performing politically incorrect acts (like swearing or nailing something to her boyfriend in your hand), but they are only in your mind.
Okay, sometimes he loses his tongue.
The film contains strong scenes of sexual violence.
The main role, between going to the past and coming back, is shared on screen between the co-star of the black swan and Chiara Aurelia (Sheila in Terror Street Part 2, from…Netflix). Luckily, a former teacher tells Ani in the present that he doesn't recognize her, because Chiara and Mila don't really look alike.
In the meantime, there is a slip in continuity (when Ani agrees to testify in a documentary about the massacre, she arrives at school in high heels and we see that when she leaves in a hurry she is wearing leather boots ), But it's not that bad..
Chiara Aurelia (Ani, as a young woman) also didn't have a good time in "The Street of Terror, Part 2". Relapse.
In the cast you will see many familiar faces, in addition to those mentioned: the groom is Finn Wittrock, from american horror storyNell's friend is Justine Lupe (Willa Ferreyra in Succession), also luxury interiors, but not much else.
