Review of Not Okay

Not Okay (2022)
5/10
A tricky satire about white women that falls flat.
2 August 2022
Not Okay is a satirical take on everyone's favourite genre, "Karens". This movie is about a vapid white woman from a well off family who just can't help but be the centre of attention, even when they absolutely shouldn't be. That's it.

Aside from a heartbreaking, but absolutely engrossing performance from Mia Isaac, there's nothing to really champion about this movie primarily because of its poor, predictable storyline. The lesson at the end falls flat. Is the lesson really that Karen's should just disappear because no one wants to deal with them? While I'm not disagreeing with that, it seems rather juvenile to end your movie with a stance that doesn't contribute to change, especially when the film deals with heavy topics like gun control, liberal feminism, toxic social media culture and black fishing.

There's a good film in here somewhere but it needs better writers.
