Summary: Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch), an aimless aspiring writer with no friends, no romantic prospects and — worst of all — no followers, fakes an Instagram-friendly trip to Paris in the hopes of boosting her social media clout. When a terrifying incident strikes the City of Lights, Danni unwittingly falls into a lie bigger than she ever imagined.Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch), an aimless aspiring writer with no friends, no romantic prospects and — worst of all — no followers, fakes an Instagram-friendly trip to Paris in the hopes of boosting her social media clout. When a terrifying incident strikes the City of Lights, Danni unwittingly falls into a lie bigger than she ever imagined. She "returns" a hero, even striking up an unlikely friendship with Rowan (Mia Isaac), a school-shooting survivor dedicated to societal change, and scooping up the man of her dreams Colin (Dylan O'Brien). As an influencer and advocate, Danni finally has the life and audience she always wanted. But it’s only a matter of time before the facade cracks, and she learns the hard way that the Internet loves a takedown.… Expand

Barry Levitt

Shephard's steady direction and clever script allow things to hit exactly the right note. Deutch, O'Brien, and Isaac are all terrific, and "Not Okay" is one of the most pleasant surprises of 2022. Read full review

Scott Campbell

Writer and director Quinn Shephard's Not Okay takes thing near to the knuckle, but the biting jet-black comedy never loses sight of its intentions, deftly balancing humor and bile with heart and hard-hitting themes. Read full review

James Berardinelli

It might be fair to argue that Shephard overreaches with Not Okay, but there’s something bracing and fresh about throwing caution to the wind the way she does. The movie doesn’t have the bland, cookie-cutter feel of so many of the other productions that comment on the evils of the Internet. Read full review

Ultimately, it’s an entertaining dramedy with strong performances from Deutch and the quickly-rising-star Mia Isaac (also excellent in the recent “Don’t Make Me Go”), but is too often willing to poke fun at easy targets instead of really asking why people lie for popularity or how we turn survivors of extreme violence into celebrities.

There is a great deal of cringe comedy in Not Okay and the actors all pull it off well. Shephard's social media black comedy is an entertaining film that may leave audiences thinking about their own relationship to social media. Read full review

Lena Wilson

As satires go, this one by the writer and director Quinn Shephard is hardly subtle — but though it lacks narrative finesse, Not Okay is brimming with provocative in-jokes for the extremely online. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Jul 21, 2022

Not Okay wants to be kind of a goof on the subject. Deutch seems to want to make it one. But former child actress turned writer-director Quinn Shephard doesn’t appear to be on the same page with this heavy-handed mope. Read full review

Na tradução brasileira, "Influencer de mentira", realmente tem uma história para contar sobre uma jovem que tenta a fama simulando uma viagem a Paris, e coincidentemente, quando a cidade é tomada por ataques terroristas, o que faz dela não apenas uma sobrevivente, mas um produto de apeloNa tradução brasileira, "Influencer de mentira", realmente tem uma história para contar sobre uma jovem que tenta a fama simulando uma viagem a Paris, e coincidentemente, quando a cidade é tomada por ataques terroristas, o que faz dela não apenas uma sobrevivente, mas um produto de apelo midiático inquestionável. A hashtag adotada é o nome do filme original, #notokay.
O roteiro por si só tem grande potencial para discutir o simulacro e as imagens superficiais que se criam em torno dos influenciers, de como somos movidos a suas futilidades e de como estamos cada vez mais adestrados a acompanhar comportamentos massificados.
Porém, é inegável a tolice e limitação do filme quando desenvolve esta ideia, com photoshops mal feitos, situações constrangedoras e o principal, um apuro meio infantil para sustentar essa mentira (por exemplo, ela falar que estava um dia ensolarado quando fora um dia chuvoso).
Foi uma tentativa de mostrar a vida por trás das lentes, mas sem o amadurecimento para tal, sem que possamos ou tenhamos a sensibilidade necessária para comprar a ideia por completo.
Ao menos a ideia está ali, com atuações apenas medianas, o filme tem algo a dizer, mas há muitos outros filmes sobre a temática com muito mais camadas do que esse drama que afinal não passa daquilo que tanto quer criticar: uma superfície de adolescente.… Expand

This movie is so well written, that it's really hard to watch at times, because you will truly despise Danni, and how she acts. I loved it. Has its flaws tho.

Why insist on treating the problems of online life only from the Zillennials point of view when now all the important people up to the pope and the POTUS have a social account and a working group that supports them in the hunt for followers?

A movie filled with terrible people, but also unentertaining people. The massage is simple and firm, but seems like a very fringe message, don't co opt actual trauma for yourself.

When an unfortunate tragedy happens there, her posts about the event boost her internet popularity. Of course, the truth must eventually come out, leaving us with an extended message about the evils of social media and the attendant attention that so many people crave today. Deutch does fine with the up and down aspects of her character. The supporting cast is OK, but lacking much interest. While this might look like a comedy, it's more a dark satire without any laffs. At least the ending was appropriate. … Expand

Bien que l’idée de départ soit plus ou moins digne d’intérêt, bien que l’actrice principale s’avère aussi vide et superficielle que le personnage navrant et superfétatoire qu’elle incarne, le film n’est tout simplement… pas okay ! il reste au ras des pâquerettes, aussi plat et navrant que les comportements de l’internet pas net qu’il entend dénoncer.

Le film est contre toute attente morne et sans intérêt, ramolli et tout bêtement donneur de leçon à la petite semaine. Il ne parvient jamais à nous faire toucher du doigt la connerie lancinante et épouvantable des débiles sur leurs réseaux chiasses et sochiasses, ainsi que le vide vertigineux de leurs utilisateurs et utilisatrices.

Au contraire, il ne fait que nous abrutir pendant quasiment une heure quarante… je suis pas ok avec ça, non vraiment pas. Alors, allez hop, je bloque le film de merde !… Expand
