Luckiest Girl Alive (2022)

Film is an interesting blend.A “boss girl” type film, the protagonist even has the typical sassy inner monologue.However the movie has an incredibly nuanced portrayal of a woman who has suffered serious trauma.Many films portray victims as weathered survivors.This film shows the victim as extremely put-together and successful.It’s a take I haven’t seen before, and it’s definitely one that is good to see.The movie uses two incredibly sensitive topics as plot devices, if the movie was any lesser, it would have trivilalized those topics.But the unrelenting nature of the portrayals of those topics only adds to the movie to show what the protagonist has overcome.
