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.
The movie is an incessant interrogation of what our young people are becoming, what they want and what the rules are to get it, yet its humor and humility make it stand out as one of the better recent satires.

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 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.

It’s refreshing to see a satire, rather than an hours-long documentary, about a grifter. But, unlike Anna Sorokin and Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes (her adaptation: “The Dropout,” also on Hulu), who’s been convicted of fraud, the resolution to “Not Okay” is not as absolute.
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.
In the end, it’s not just that you’re watching a satire sans teeth — it’s more like you’re sitting through a version of Shattered Glass where Stephen Glass feels kind of bad about all those stories he made up.
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.
I feel like someone saw how "Dear Evan Hansen" was gonna turn out and decided, "Hey, we can do this better." Not Okay is a good movie, it shines a light on today's social media age and how people will do practically anything for their 15 minutes of fame. People whose entire existence relies upon the number of followers they have on their Instagram, Twitter on TikTok.
This film attempts to showcase how **** steal a quote from Johnny Cash, "What's done in the dark, will be brought to the light." We see it all the time in today's shock jock media culture where the same internet that had brought you to the dance will take you down in a matter of seconds. Actions have consequences.
The execution isn't flawless, I felt like the ending was a bit harsh considering people have done alot worse in society. Zoey Deutch is criminally underrated actress and her friendship with Mia Isaac felt real and believable. It works well as both a comedy and drama

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?

Okay, I know this is a satire, but I found the whole premise tasteless. I don't think the whole bombing survivors theme was treated with enough respect. Also, everything in it is cringe-worthy, and the acting was meh. Of course, I'm not the target of this, but "Not Okay" could've been at least decent with a better screenplay and a different approach.
