MORE SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/ "Not Okay is, to say the least, a shocking, controversial, thought-provoking movie that all viewers within the digital world should watch. An in-depth study of the absolute worst of social media, clickbait journalism, false victimization, and the relentless pursuit of fame. The satirical-comedic tone doesn't always work, and some quite interesting topics deserved a more detailed exploration and clearer conclusions, especially about cancel culture. Still, Zoey Deutch sells the role of the unlikable protagonist (very) well, despite a bold yet confusing ending concerning the message Quinn Shephard wanted to convey. Nevertheless, the real standout is Mia Isaac, who, at just 18 years old and with only one feature film under her belt before this movie, demonstrates insane talent and delivers one of the most emotionally powerful performances of the year. Cool song choices relevant to the narrative." Rating: B
