It’s commonplace right now to hear the words “social media personality” “influencer” and “hashtag” There’s good money to be made from that comes with that line of work. Zoey Deutch stars in Not Okay, a satire looking at that very trend. Deutch stars as Danni Sanders who’s struggling to find her purpose and career. She works as a photo editor but would rather be a writer. She wants to be known, loved, and wants to matter. She meets Colin (O’Brien) who’s a social media influencer with all the connections and freebies, and she’s smitten in him and the work. Danni photoshops a fake writer’s retreat in Paris to gain attention but finds herself caught in a web of lies after claiming she survived a recent bomb explosion while on this fake retreat. She’s desperate to find what gives her the likes, comments, and attention she wants. Now streaming on Hulu
