Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch), an aimless aspiring writer with no friends, no romantic prospects and--worst of all--no followers, fakes an Instagram-friendly trip to Paris, hoping to boost her social-media clout. When a terrifying incident strikes the City of Lights, Danni unwittingly falls into a lie bigger than she ever imagined. She "returns" a hero, even striking up an unlikely friendship with Rowan (Mia Isaac), a real trauma survivor dedicated to societal change, and scooping up the man of her dreams Colin (Dylan O'Brien). As an influencer and advocate, Danni finally has the life and audience she always wanted, but it's only a matter of time before the façade cracks and she learns the hard way that the Internet loves a takedown.

MORE SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/ "Not Okay is, to say the least, a shocking, controversial, thought-provoking movie that all viewers within the digital world should watch. An in-depth study of the absolute worst of social media, clickbait journalism, false victimization, and the relentless pursuit of fame. The satirical-comedic tone doesn't always work, and some quite interesting topics deserved a more detailed exploration and clearer conclusions, especially about cancel culture. Still, Zoey Deutch sells the role of the unlikable protagonist (very) well, despite a bold yet confusing ending concerning the message Quinn Shephard wanted to convey. Nevertheless, the real standout is Mia Isaac, who, at just 18 years old and with only one feature film under her belt before this movie, demonstrates insane talent and delivers one of the most emotionally powerful performances of the year. Cool song choices relevant to the narrative." Rating: B
