A quick look at Not Okay plot and trailer
On June 21, 2022, Hulu released the official trailer for the film, which opens with a hilarious ''warning'' that states:
"This film contains an unlikeable female protagonist. Viewer discretion advised."
The trailer features Zoey Deutch's lead character, who looks for various ways to garner a strong following on social media and decides to fake a trip to Paris. The trailer maintains a comic tone despite the serious subject, and it'll be interesting to see how the story pans out.
Along with the trailer, Hulu's official YouTube channel also shared a brief synopsis of the film, which states:
''Not Okay'' follows Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch), an aimless aspiring writer with no friends, no romantic prospects and — worst of all — no followers, who 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.''
The description further reads,
''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.''
Not Okay will be available to stream on Hulu on Friday, July 29, 2022.
