Luckiest Girl Alive (2022)
Rating: R

Director: Mike Barker
Cast: Mila Kunis, Justine Lupe, Jennifer Beals
Writer: Jessica Knoll
Runtime: 115 min / 1h 55m
Mila Kunis leads the cast for this new Netflix thriller.
Compared to and akin to Gone Girl, here’s what you can expect from the new adaptation:
“A writer’s perfectly crafted New York City life starts to unravel when a true-crime documentary forces her to confront her harrowing high school history.”
Reviews haven’t been too kind to the movie thus far, with it currently carrying a 38% RottenTomatoes score at the time of publishing. Bill Goodykoontz at the Arizona Republic said Kunis carries the movie while others, such as Courtney Howard for Variety, said, “the film lacks a genuinely heartening pull.”
