Uproar over Mila Kunis' new film on Netflix.
At the center of the film "The Luckiest Girl in the World", about the character of Annie Fennelly (played by Kunis, who also produced) - a successful journalist at the New York Times with the seemingly perfect life - condenses a shocking and dark past trauma from high school, in which (*spoiler alert) she was involved In a shooting and gang-rape incident, years after its occurrence, it comes to mind to haunt and shake her life following a documentary film about the affair.
Severe graphic violence.
"The luckiest girl in the world",
According to many surfers, the viewing warning that warns against violence and sexual content at the beginning of the film (which is classified as suitable for viewing by those aged 18 and over due to its difficult content) is not enough, and they were quick to express their displeasure about this online, noting, as mentioned, that the difficult content of the film is very disturbing and may cause a post trauma in viewers - while demanding that the streaming network provide a much more prominent and decisive warning in which it will be written explicitly that the film contains scenes of severe graphic sexual violence.
As mentioned, while the film seeks to put a spotlight on the phenomenon of "blaming the victim" and marking survivors of sexual assault with the sign of Cain, many feel that Netflix has missed the important goal by a large margin and is actually taking part in exacerbating the trauma of the victims.
Soooooo a HUGE Trigger Warning for anyone who is considering watching Luckiest Girl Alive please know there is a violent and explicit sexual assault in it.
