I really appreciated that this film had a deliberately unlikeable female protagonist from the offset, and that they didn't try to redeem Danni just because she was a woman. Danni isn't even really sorry about lying in the first place, only that she got caught.
The fact that this movie starts with the warning for an unlikable female protagonist and the point went over so many viewers heads… so many people were like “ where’s the warning for unlikable male protagonists “ but then the test screening watchers complained about how unlikable she was. pick one y’all
Can you tell me the point? I genuinely don’t know why they put that. Is it a sarcastic? Like saying “since you all are so sensitive, here’s a warning” or something like that?
@@tirea277 yeah its sarcastic, because people will completely bash a movie with an unlikeable female lead, even if that was the point of her character and the movie as a whole. But male leads can be the most terrible people ever and people will write term papers about why the characters behavior is everyone elses fault
@Tiré A I could be wrong but I think they only put that message in after a few of the pre screenings because the watchers at the test screenings complained about Danni being unlikeable. So it's put there as a light-hearted / "jokey" heads-up due to people who had actually taken an issue to her. But @Ayanna Branchcomb makes a good point about how unlikeable male protagonists aren't viewed in this same light in media and society and wouldn't need this warning
I disagree about Dylan O’Brien’s character Colin not being funny. I think his portrayal of fuck-boy-influencer was cringey and non-funny on purpose which is what makes it funny and satirical.
Zoey absolutely ATE in this. I feel like she's one of those actresses who whenever she gets casted in something she commits to it. I haven't watched a lot of Dylan's movies aside from the first maze runner but for what he was given I think he did a good job at male influencers. In my opinion Mia Isaac was the standout in this. I hope she gets more roles in the future.
Dylan is one of the most talented actors I have ever seen. He is a bit like Zoey in how he really commits himself to his roles to minuscule details like their mannerisms and the way they move.
I honestly thought it was refreshing that the protagonist did not learn a lesson or get a happy ending like in most movies. To me, it showed that she wasn't upset by the fact that she did what she did; it was because she was upset that she got caught and had to be forced to suffer the consequences of said actions, just like in real life. In real life, people who have the balls to pull this stunt do not get their redemption arc. I feel that's what truly saved this movie.
Wait, I'm a little confused. Do you mean that not giving a redemption arc means she will not be forgiven and she should be hated on social media forever? I’m trying to understand what it means
@@rjpal1217 i think what they mean is that the movie is a more accurate depiction of real life. many movies with “unlikeable protagonists” give these characters a redemption arc. i feel as though that real life can be very black and white on these matters. for example, dani’s parents will eventually forgive her as seen in how they begrudgingly take her in after she’s “cancelled.” rowan will most likely never forgive dani, and rightfully so, what dani did was horrendous. a redemption arc, in my opinion, is a storyline that makes all that someone did forgiven, whether they work for it or not. i like some redemption arcs and i hate others. in my honest opinion, dani did not deserve a redemption arc. it does not mean that her life will continue to be as hell-ish as depicted in the end of the movie. but people in real life need to be held accountable for what they do, showing a storyline that forgives dani and “wipes away her sins” would be a) unrealistic and b) a normalization of her atrocious behavior.
Exactly, in real life most often it’s just time and switch of people’s focus which makes it easier for the person ‘in fault’, not some beautiful liberating experience
I would have to disagree, a bit. Danny is shown to have guilt throughout the film - she is suffering the consequences of her actions that she inflicted on herself.
As a black queer person and I found Dylan O’Brien’s character amusingly out-of-pocket and the reason why I say I am those things is because it is very annoying when white boys put on like a hood/urban/blaccent but there’s nothing you can really do about it. So, right after watching this guy was in a comment section and some to use the word she fine AF she a baddie and I look at the profile it’s like a scrawny suburban looking white boy and I just laughed so hard because all I saw was Dylan O’Brien‘s character and Hannah heart going “you’re from Maine.”
Yeah his character is a satire of the yt influencers and sound cloud rappers who adopt a blaccent and just the hood vibes only when it benefits them and then shed it the moment they stop benefiting from it
i noticed that so many female celebs/influencers get DRAGGED (rightfully so) for jokingly having a blaccent like one time but there's countless non-black male celebs that get away with doing the exact same thing much more frequently. some even make it their entire personality but are rarely called out.
My pitch for the Trin Lovell Not Okay cameo: Trin watching Gone Girl, the scene where she's explaining her masterplan: "Literally less psychopathic than Danni Sanders"
i like how they handle various messages. danni's lie serves as how desensitived influencers, especially yt influencers, are to tragic events through how she sees it as a way she can just accelerate her fame on the internet. and then at the nightclub with danni and colin yelling "fuck terrorists" also further shows how the internet is desensitized to events. even though this film was filmed last year, which is obvious due to the microtrends, that ends up helping show danni's desire to be known by displaying how much she wants to keep up. and then with the character of rowan we get the opposite: someone who survived an tragic event and did not want the fame but ends up using it for good. furthermore on rowan, we also see how yt influencers benefit off of black people. a costuming detail i noticed when i watched the film is that danni's outfit at the rally with rowan is extremely similar to rowan's style, showing how she is mooching off of rowan's activism and how she's not being honest about herself. rowan's monologue at the end is a physical representation of bipoc individuals taking back the mic by her calling out how danni mistreated and betrayed her. outside of the film we further see how poc are often looked over in favor of their yt counterparts. while mia issac was arguably the backbone of the film, a lot of people on the internet are heavily focused on dylan o brien, which as trin mentioned is not in that much of the film. the most unrealistic part of the film, which helped the film in my opinion, is the ending and danni's lack of a redemption arc. if we're being honest, cancel culture does not really exist because a lot of influencers who get cancelled will still be "forgiven" by their fans and the people that they did not offend and will still go on with their lives.
I don't think the that last part was unrealistic. Danni had no influence to begin with and only gained traction from fame about a disaster that didn't even happen to her. Once everyone knew that was fake her not being forgiven makes sense. Her previous content didn't really stick. No one liked her for her. Everyone emphatic to follow, but not stick around. She's a regular person who gained influence almost over night. She never had a fan base.
Tbh, I noticed white women seem to do this often whenever a film does not center on them or portray them in the best light. They’ll shift the spotlight to someone white, just so they don’t have to acknowledge or give recognition to the black or person of color star. I noticed this in “to all the boys I’ve loved before.” They were literally praising Noah Centineo in that film when Lana Condor was the true star but 🤷🏾♀️.
i agree with the last part, like i don't believe that the type of men who were saying "snowflakes" at the rally and the ones doxing her would care all that much, if they were diminishing the gun violence rally and the guys in the video felt similar to the snowflake guys, then how would the care and go all out to hate on her. idk
@@shannonranalli8688 This is a late ass comment but, rightwing talking heads do this all the time just to "own the libs". Her being a liar while protesting guns would absolutely get her backlash from that demographic.
girl i havent even watched the video but your outfit this episode is SO GOOD. like your outfits in general are super gorgeous and inspire me to dress nicer but this one in particular!!! you look so good in white!!!
i almost didn’t make it cos i had forgotten it had come out till i saw trin post and so i went to watch it immediately and whew…. i had to speed thru some scenes
i may be in the minority but the movie struck me emotionally. i relate to rowan’s character in more ways than one but seeing her spoken word performances nearly brought me to tears. i lost my best friend to police brutality over a year ago and mia isaac really just delivered the grief and anger i felt and still continue to feel. i’m definitely a new fan of her.
I really liked this movie. It was refreshing to see a coming of age story that wasn't rooted in romance or visually appealing aesthetics. It's simply a film about an emotionally detached, socially oblivious 20 something year old who is in way over her head. I actually do feel like Danni changed for the better. Danni seems to develop feelings of sympathy for the first time in her life through her friendship with Rowan. The scene where the trauma group is associating their feelings with colors really stuck out to me. When Danni gets flustered and visualizes her color as a numbing gray, I felt that. Zoey Deutch did a really good job portraying a character whose mental health struggles have consumed her to the point where she doesn't even realize how broken she is since all of those unhealthy feelings have become so normal to her.
omg trin thank you for putting my thoughts about this movie into words i finished and didnt know what to think, i was really underwhelmed for the most part. i totally agree: the ending was the only powerful part of this movie, the fashion really helped nail down Danni's character, and we need more Mia Issac. Honestly i think dylan o'brien was used as an advertising technique to get teen wolf girlies to watch... and it worked i am a teen wolf girlie
i honestly don’t think we’re supposed to laugh at dylan’s character, i think we’re supposed to cringe and feel uncomfortable bc he reminds us of actual men like that irl (edit: but i could be wrong)
Dylan is in the interviews because he’s a more familiar face and it’s to attract his audience. His performance was fine to me tbh since he’s not necessarily supposed to be “ha ha” funny, he’s supposed to be cringey
I like that instead of doing what Dear Evan Hansen did and trying to pretend the un-moral main character was somehow forced into participating in the lie and didn't mean to hurt people (Evan's lie is basically explained as him being too anxious to explain the truth 🙄), Dani is always seen as immoral in her actions. Sure admitting lying about Paris would have been embarrassing, but no moral person would choose to lie about being in an attack like that. And she is immediately shown to enjoy the attention she receives for being a "victim."
Trin's commentary is always on point, esp in with a movie like this, when she talks about parasocial relationships and audience-creator relations from her own experiences... also the fit in this video is on point.
I think Collin was supposed to be a reference to white male influencers in general and how they cosplay certain aesthetics for followers - not necessarily MGK or Pete Davidson. I could be wrong tho!
I personally think that Dylan and Zoey’s characters were meant to be off-putting, not really funny. But then they should’ve made this more a social commentary/satirical rather than trying to emphasize on the comedy. Like how Zoey’s character was completely unaware of triggers from trauma and no one really commented on how inappropriately she responded in some of those scenes was kinda weird to me. Could’ve been another way of ratting her out rather than the predictable “co-worker who hates her sneaks onto her laptop.”
this movie was definitely…. just okay, it wasn’t as funny as i thought it was going to be, but mia isaac’s performance was definitely the highlight for me.
i recommend watching it with subtitles because the parts where lights flicker and you get a sense of something paranormal, a voice is counting down in french - im assuming counting down to the main characters downfall but yeah, ive hardly see anyone notice it/talk about it
i love me some zoey deutch. this movie was a fun watch, it was okay lol. i really like that dani didn’t get any redemption. i was so relieved at the last part when she put away that basic ass self indulgent apology and walked away instead.
Rowan’s speech at the end is so good. Often there are characters in shows or movies who do these songs or poems or whatever and it never feels genuine, but the spoken word at the end (and the ACTING) was incredible. Mia Isaac needs more roles immediately
they still do the teeth whitening on snapchat and I cannot find one person besides influencers that use it. which is very questionable because people ask about how their teeth are white and they always answer it.
this movie is different than something i’d usually watch, so i almost don’t know what to feel. i just finished it, and wow. i really enjoy when main characters aren’t perfect, or when they’re just so deeply dislikable (like danni). mia isaac’s character Rowan got the most emotion out of me i think. and i love zoey deutch’s movies, she always does a really good job. it’s interesting bc she actually had shit she could’ve written about. her depression and how, though she’s from a wealthy background and should seemingly have everything, she doesn’t bc her mental health is in shambles. or she could’ve brought up her and her mother’s relationship (the part where her mom says she hasn’t said “i love you” much. i think that’s probably caused danni some internal issues).
Mia absolutely blew me away. I agree about the ending, the only thing I would change though is that I wouldn't show Danni's reactions to the monologue at all, I'd focus on Rowan the whole time and then just at the very end I'd show a glimpse of Danni leaving.
i loved the movie because of the clear contrast between dani and rowan. i thought the writing was so smart of how when dani comforts rowan, although sweet, has the perspective of an outsider of trauma. like the way she approaches conversations with rowan makes it obvious nothing has happen to dani herself.
I honestly thought that after harper exposed dani and gave her that ultimatum, that dani would try and kill her, since she's so desperate for fame. The movie went in the nice tame route (excluding the whole lying about being apart of a tragedy), but I would totally be here for a murder cover up story.
I really liked how the characters were portrayed ,including Colin , I feel like he wasn't meant to be that funny but more of like a white boy getting famous for acting black, which I think Dylan portrayed really well (and I think his character was meant to be a bit cringey). Also I Really agree about Mia
I actually really liked this movie, it tricked us into watching a movie about something very important (gun violence in US schools and ptsd) by having an outlandish premise to suck us in. Also compared to The Wolf of Wall Street (which he ruined 100s to 1000s of peoples lives) it’s really amusing when that guy gets off pretty easy (he’s a motivational speaker now 💀). Compared to someone like the lead who needs a warning. I think the warning was supposed to be facetious and have that A Promising Young Woman kinda bite. But instead of Danni being the MC it was Rowan’s movie but a lot of people wouldn’t watch Rowan’s movie, definitely not for fun. The actress who played Rowan did an amazing job.
Mia isaac was hands down the best part of the movie and it makes me sad that shes not in a lot of the promo because zoey and dylan are bigger names edit: trin just said the same thing
im so glad you covered this film so i wouldnt have to watch it all alone by myself... From things ive seen on twitter this movies scarier than a horror film...
the way I RAN to this video. I just finished watching this movie the other day and I was waiting for you to do a reaction video for it. queen always delivers!
I actually really liked this movie!! The acting was really good and they did a great job at making the main character so cringey and dislikable lol but even tho the story and characters all seemed crazy, it was still realistic and mirrored real life people very well
Something no one talks about really is how weird Rowan and Danni's relationship is. Like Danni puts Rowan on this pedestal and acts like Rowan's both her hero and her bestie and both are weird. It reminds me a lot of Sia and Maddie Ziegler. Also the fact that her mother was letting her do all this amazing but very raw and public work while she's a child who is clearly struggling and needing therapy is ..... questionable.
I really liked your interlude about online hate versus love, because it truly is getting so many people these days- I keep seeing random tiktok users get piled on for the smallest thing, it’s wild. No one is invisible anymore, and everyone is having this experience.
this movie is my 2nd favorite movie ever. they did great talking about how you can get lost in one lie and it can completely derail everything. they did great on making sure everyone hated her. i just love it so much
This movie made me so uncomfortable for the first part of it that I almost didn't go back to watch it and then you made this video so good job love 💕 and as always sooo beautifully done up
you said that usually at the end of these movies the protagonist get a redemption arc but the movies that you named before like spree or mainstream did not have a redemption arc
If it were me, I'd say I got on an earlier flight, which resulted in getting there at nighttime, and then photoshopped it to look like daytime. Owns up to any fakeness caught in the pictures, and still maintains the lie without making it worse. Wouldn't have to lie about going sightseeing, either, cause they'd all be closed. Also also, could claim the retreat was canceled because of the attacks, so she hopped on a flight home.

Trin's commentary is always on point, esp in with a movie like this, when she talks about parasocial relationships and audience-creator relations from her own experiences... also the fit in this video is on point.
I love that she doesn’t get a damn redemption and she doesn’t shove an apology in front of Mia isaac’s character. Also I love your outfit today :)
The ending of this movie was so satisfying. The person who did fucked up shit didn't get forgiven at the end and that's so good.
I think Collin was supposed to be a reference to white male influencers in general and how they cosplay certain aesthetics for followers - not necessarily MGK or Pete Davidson. I could be wrong tho!
I once heard that dylan actually hung out with pete davidson while filming to understand the role, idk if that's true tho
Trin this outfit and makeup is ✨EVERYTHING ✨
I personally think that Dylan and Zoey’s characters were meant to be off-putting, not really funny. But then they should’ve made this more a social commentary/satirical rather than trying to emphasize on the comedy. Like how Zoey’s character was completely unaware of triggers from trauma and no one really commented on how inappropriately she responded in some of those scenes was kinda weird to me. Could’ve been another way of ratting her out rather than the predictable “co-worker who hates her sneaks onto her laptop.”
this movie was definitely…. just okay, it wasn’t as funny as i thought it was going to be, but mia isaac’s performance was definitely the highlight for me.
With the heavy topics the movie talked about I feel like comedy can only go so far before it becomes super tone-deaf and offensive.
Yep
i really dont think that comedy was the main goal. satirical movies arent always comedy
i recommend watching it with subtitles because the parts where lights flicker and you get a sense of something paranormal, a voice is counting down in french - im assuming counting down to the main characters downfall
but yeah, ive hardly see anyone notice it/talk about it
i love me some zoey deutch. this movie was a fun watch, it was okay lol. i really like that dani didn’t get any redemption. i was so relieved at the last part when she put away that basic ass self indulgent apology and walked away instead.
Rowan’s speech at the end is so good. Often there are characters in shows or movies who do these songs or poems or whatever and it never feels genuine, but the spoken word at the end (and the ACTING) was incredible. Mia Isaac needs more roles immediately
agreed, the styling is so purposeful and well done
they still do the teeth whitening on snapchat and I cannot find one person besides influencers that use it. which is very questionable because people ask about how their teeth are white and they always answer it.
swear to god i can’t make it thru ONE fine person’s story without that fucking teeth whitening shit 😭😭😭
this movie is different than something i’d usually watch, so i almost don’t know what to feel. i just finished it, and wow. i really enjoy when main characters aren’t perfect, or when they’re just so deeply dislikable (like danni). mia isaac’s character Rowan got the most emotion out of me i think. and i love zoey deutch’s movies, she always does a really good job.
it’s interesting bc she actually had shit she could’ve written about. her depression and how, though she’s from a wealthy background and should seemingly have everything, she doesn’t bc her mental health is in shambles. or she could’ve brought up her and her mother’s relationship (the part where her mom says she hasn’t said “i love you” much. i think that’s probably caused danni some internal issues).
I had the exact same thought after I watched the movie… like why is Mia Isaac in zero interviews she was the best part
mia isaac was incredible, i started the movie for dylan but stayed for mia, and she's in only 2 movies???
The elevator scene was interesting, never wanted to cry so much in my life
Also your outfit is ✨amazing
Mia absolutely blew me away. I agree about the ending, the only thing I would change though is that I wouldn't show Danni's reactions to the monologue at all, I'd focus on Rowan the whole time and then just at the very end I'd show a glimpse of Danni leaving.
i loved the movie because of the clear contrast between dani and rowan. i thought the writing was so smart of how when dani comforts rowan, although sweet, has the perspective of an outsider of trauma. like the way she approaches conversations with rowan makes it obvious nothing has happen to dani herself.
I honestly thought that after harper exposed dani and gave her that ultimatum, that dani would try and kill her, since she's so desperate for fame. The movie went in the nice tame route (excluding the whole lying about being apart of a tragedy), but I would totally be here for a murder cover up story.
omg trin looks SO so gorgeous.. she literally has my dream everything 😭
I really liked how the characters were portrayed ,including Colin , I feel like he wasn't meant to be that funny but more of like a white boy getting famous for acting black, which I think Dylan portrayed really well (and I think his character was meant to be a bit cringey). Also I Really agree about Mia
This movie was really good, I will definitely be watching it again….the ending was so good
Trin should add her letterboxd rating at the end of her movie commentary videos
🙌🏾 Mia Issac is truly outstanding in this. I also liked her in Don't Make Me Go 👏🏾
I love sitting down for girl talk time!
I actually really liked this movie, it tricked us into watching a movie about something very important (gun violence in US schools and ptsd) by having an outlandish premise to suck us in.
Also compared to The Wolf of Wall Street (which he ruined 100s to 1000s of peoples lives) it’s really amusing when that guy gets off pretty easy (he’s a motivational speaker now 💀). Compared to someone like the lead who needs a warning. I think the warning was supposed to be facetious and have that A Promising Young Woman kinda bite. But instead of Danni being the MC it was Rowan’s movie but a lot of people wouldn’t watch Rowan’s movie, definitely not for fun. The actress who played Rowan did an amazing job.
Mia isaac was hands down the best part of the movie and it makes me sad that shes not in a lot of the promo because zoey and dylan are bigger names
edit: trin just said the same thing
im so glad you covered this film so i wouldnt have to watch it all alone by myself... From things ive seen on twitter this movies scarier than a horror film...
bless you trin
oh hey
When I tell you I literally screamed when I got the notif for this, I’m so excited to watch!!
I think you reacted exactly how they intended people to react to Dylan's character.
i need to know how trin curls her hair bc its so good
Gurlll you look so gorgeous😚✨ the hair the outfit the everything
trin you look so good!!!♥️
mia isaac slayed
the way I RAN to this video. I just finished watching this movie the other day and I was waiting for you to do a reaction video for it. queen always delivers!
Okay but Trin, that outfit is actually everything ngl
Ummm girl can I just say you’re serving with the fit today 😌✨
YOUR OUTFIT IS GORGEOUS
The black swan quote in the back 🤸🏽one of my fav movies
I actually really liked this movie!! The acting was really good and they did a great job at making the main character so cringey and dislikable lol but even tho the story and characters all seemed crazy, it was still realistic and mirrored real life people very well
the best thing to come out of this movie though were the tiktoks with zoey, dylan, and reece
Seeing dylan twerk in reece's tiktok made me like them both even more
The whole thing reminded me of Tania Head who pretended that she was at the World Trade Center when 9/11 happened there’s a documentary about it too
I was waiting for this one 😸 hope you had fun.😂.
Something no one talks about really is how weird Rowan and Danni's relationship is. Like Danni puts Rowan on this pedestal and acts like Rowan's both her hero and her bestie and both are weird. It reminds me a lot of Sia and Maddie Ziegler. Also the fact that her mother was letting her do all this amazing but very raw and public work while she's a child who is clearly struggling and needing therapy is ..... questionable.
THAT OUTFIT IS GORGEOUS LIGHT ACADEMIA LOOKS SO GOOD ON YOU OMG????
I dunno why Trin hanging up that poster of black swan was the highlight of my year
Okaaaaay Trin serving looks today 😍😍😍
“A diet coke and a plan B is kind of a serve” PLEASEEEE
THE QUINN MUSIC AT THE START
I suggest watching Everything Everywhere All At Once…. It’s such a trip but soooo great! 😁
if trin was in not okay i would die
Quinn's theme in the beginning...art
I loved this movie, and Mia definitely ate, especially in the finale. I’m glad Danni didn’t get a redemption arc cuz it’s not deserved
I really liked your interlude about online hate versus love, because it truly is getting so many people these days- I keep seeing random tiktok users get piled on for the smallest thing, it’s wild. No one is invisible anymore, and everyone is having this experience.
Trin compared Harper to Hannah Hart repeatedly but lemme tell ya, she looks SO MUCH like Tina Majorino (Deb of Napoleon Dynamite/Mac of Veronica Mars)
I thought trin was saying that the actor was actually hannah hart and I was like..... that is not hannah hart 😂😂
you are flourishing in this video trin.
Zoey Deutch is now one of my favourite actress ;0
this movie is my 2nd favorite movie ever. they did great talking about how you can get lost in one lie and it can completely derail everything. they did great on making sure everyone hated her. i just love it so much
can we take a moment for the set up? It’s so amazing and i can’t get over how aesthetically pleasing it is! 😍😍
bruh i wasn’t expecting to see *the gifs*
but i am so happy i did
Trin I just finished watching Ugly Betty (a tv show from like 2006) and I so badly want any kind of content/commentary from u PLS
It’s too real. We all know guys like Colin. It hits too close to home😂
i really like how they didn’t give dani redemption 😭
This movie made me so uncomfortable for the first part of it that I almost didn't go back to watch it and then you made this video so good job love 💕 and as always sooo beautifully done up
you said that usually at the end of these movies the protagonist get a redemption arc but the movies that you named before like spree or mainstream did not have a redemption arc
omg trin the ootd is really popping off😆
I liked it and I’m excited to see your video about it.
I GASPED when you came on screen, stunning as always trin
If it were me, I'd say I got on an earlier flight, which resulted in getting there at nighttime, and then photoshopped it to look like daytime.
Owns up to any fakeness caught in the pictures, and still maintains the lie without making it worse.
Wouldn't have to lie about going sightseeing, either, cause they'd all be closed.
Also also, could claim the retreat was canceled because of the attacks, so she hopped on a flight home.
When you mentioned G-force I felt seen because I swear nobody knows what I’m talking about when I mention that movie •-•
I saw the trailer for this and I was LMAO cus NAHH. This ad was giving the same energy as the ad for moxie- 😭
Can we talk about how STUNNING Trin looks in this video??
The way assassination nation is one of my favorite movies 😟
