She is simply outstanding here, and the film’s final moments wrap the metaphorical bow on the film where Shephard finally reveals her intentions. The film’s best performance belongs to Don’t Make Me Go’s Mia Isaac. The transformation shifts from exaggerated to natural, as you will see in the final scene, which is intentional. Her character eventually becomes well-rounded. While this does not come close to her performance in Buffaloed, which was brimming with temerity, this is not exactly Archie Bunker either. While Deutch has played this role before ( Zombieland), she does a fine mix of sharply delivered dialogue and cringe humor. However, the final act takes a braver turn than most, where there will be no clear bow tied to this ending. There is dark humor, and much of it is funny, but Shephard could have gone for broke here and pulled back noticeably. For instance, there is a scene where Colin ejaculates inside Danni when they hook up in the club bathroom, but he gets back on that horse with two other women while Danni goes to the pharmacy to buy some Plan B. Colin using Danni for his social media status is hardly groundbreaking. While the first two acts have a wonderfully deft touch that adequately shows the difference between Danni’s narcissism and Rowan’s altruistic motives, these insights are for the majority broad rather than anything razor sharp. Shephard also wrote the script, and there is an odd mix of irreverent humor while morphing into heart-warming comedy as Deutch’s Danni begins to see and feel the errors of her ways. This starts the “Not Okay” movement that takes social media by storm. There, she befriends a school shooting survivor Rowan (Mia Isaac), who helps her find her “voice” and a fake one. She even attends self-help groups of survivors of gun violence to gain insight. Then, when many contacted her, including Colin, to see if she was okay, she developed one of the worst histrionic personality disorders the world has ever seen. Unfortunately for her, she already faked and posted multiple social media posts that she was there. As she doubles down on lying to her boss and parents about going, a terrorist attack occurs in Paris. For instance, she thinks minorities have it all because they have a sense of community, like LGBTQ+ bowling nights.ĭanni also has a crush on a social media star, Colin ( The Outfit’s Dylan O’Brien, hilarious here), and lies to him about going to a writer’s retreat in France.

Naturally, her boss wants to fire her, and her coworkers do not respect her because she is unknowingly disrespectful to disadvantaged groups.

Sadly for her, she never knew anyone who died during the tragedy. Why does she feel this way? She was on a cruise with her parents during that time. For instance, she wrote about her regrets about not being around for the September 11 attacks. However, she is just an ignorant millennial who cannot empathize with others’ plights or disadvantages. Not Okay follows Danni Sanders ( Buffaloed’sZoey Deutch), a photo editor many would call just naive because of her looks.
