Summary
Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch) is a writer/photo editor for an online magazine in New York City called Depravity. In Not Okay, Dani lies about heading to Paris to impress a co-worker who happens to be a social media influencer. When Dani begins to lie about her social status and develops a significant following via her social media profile, things become hectic. Dani's recent lie about being in Paris and editing photos of herself near major landmarks becomes problematic as terrorists attack the city minutes after her photo postings. To keep her following and new fame, Dani will have to dig deeper into the lie and deal with its consequences. Not Okay focuses on the dynamics and dangers of social media for those who seek to build themselves up on lies - and the problems that come with internet fame. The film shares similar themes with other titles like Ingrid Goes West and joins the recent trend of social media commentary films. Not Okay was released as a Hulu streaming exclusive film on July 29 2022.
