    Fun and entertaining, but felt a little long.

    It was very well directed, and the dark-comedy satirical writing hit some good notes by actress turned newb writer and director Quinn Shephard. Although the pacing was decent, the 100 min runtime could've used some tweaking to cut out at least 10 mins. Casting and performances were all great, but the standout performance goes to the lovely Zoey Deutch, who stole every scene she was in. It's a fun and funny one-time watch with some actual laugh out loud moments, and a few heart-wrenching ones, when the power of social media seriously affects peoples lives. It gets a heart and seven thumbs-up emojis from me.

    Already forgot it...

    This is one of those super empty movies that you forget 2 days later that you even watched it. The acting is mostly but the story could have been sooo much more. Instead, it felt cringey like 90% of the time. It definitely had so much potential. Things got real bad for her in the end, I get it, but honestly they should have gotten way worse. I feel like we barely just scratched the surface of how bad things could have gotten for her.

    I do think that the story was very original. We really do live in a social media consumed world. Influencers are portrayed as the vapid empty creatures that they are. But that's also the problem - it's showing all these stereotypes and it's making fun of them but it's doing such a bad job at it that the movie ends up being the butt of the joke. If you're going to make fun of something bad at least do a good job at it. Otherwise you're going to look even worse than the very bad thing you've making fun of. I guess no one told the writers that... Oh, well. Here goes another movie no one will be talking about 2 weeks from now.

    Well, it's the movie version of todays youth

    I think they unexpectedly gave the middle finger to their own generation with this flick. It was an interesting window into teen and young adult life today just as much as Fast Times or Breakfast Club were our generations mirror on the Zeitgeist at that time.

    Everybody needs to see this

    'Not Okay' is a satirical take on influencer culture, and a contemplative, dark comedy about social media personalities, for whom, life revolves around likes, comments, and media attention. For whom, their entire existence relies upon the number of followers they have on their Instagram on TikTok. Being a motivator, and an inspiration for millions of people is not wrong but the harsh fact is, not everybody is truthful, and not everyone represents their 'Real' selves!

    'Not Okay' not only sheds some light on those 'pretentious' sections of the crowd, but it also makes us aware of all the lies deceptions, and fabrications perpetrated by such persons. You wouldn't believe, what some people could do to earn some additional 'Likes' on their posts, to gain some 'sympathy' from the audience. They could go to unimaginable lengths to achieve their ambitions, to fulfill their appetite to get 'Famous', to be an Internet Phenomenon!

    But the tragedy is, truth never stays hidden, it will eventually come out one day and you have to face severe consequences for your previous actions. Internet may bring people together, may tie us all down by a singular thread but It can also be the 'Unkindest'. The same internet that had brought you limitless stardom could end the very same in seconds. All the things that floated you above, may as well bring you down to the ground at any given moment. And that's the grim reality we all have to accept.

    And this movie attempts to showcase just that! With a fairly engaging Screenplay & remarkable performances (by both Zoey Deutch and Mia Isaac) this story acts as a lesson for both these influencers and for the ordinary 'netizens' who get infatuated with all the glitz & glamour of social media but tend to neglect the darker aspects!

    I'm in no way suggesting this was a flawless execution, just as always, there are a couple of unquestionable weaknesses but I think this is a movie that everyone needs to watch at least once in their life. Especially for 'Millennials'; I hope they would get to learn a lesson or two.

    P. S. Zoey Deutch is criminally underrated, she may not always get her due recognition but man! I have to say, she's one helluva performer!

    I don't get the bad reviews

    I don't understand the bad reviews on this film. This film is representing today's society and explaining that most things on social media is fake and how far people are willing to go to get followers.

    We are living in a shallow society and it is sad.

    This film picks up on the desperation of this generation.

    I think Zoey plays this extremely well.

    Some people don't realise the down fall and the negative impact that this can have on you and this film shows how a rise and fall can affect you mentally and personally and it really is such ashame for society and this film explains that.........

    • Trivia
      Director Quinn Shepard told IndieWire that they decided to add a disclaimer at the beginning of the film that warns it contains an "unlikable female protagonist" after several people at test screenings asked why they would make a movie with an unlikable woman as the main character. Shepard said it's something she's repeatedly heard in the industry, and a lot of her other writer friends have as well. Though she admitted she didn't understand why since films featuring unlikeable male protagonists are often hailed as modern masterpieces. Audiences understood that those films were "a statement and not an endorsement," so why can't the same apply to women?
