"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. 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 façade cracks, and she learns the hard way that the Internet loves a takedown.

Candice Frederick HuffPost As deft as “Not Okay” is for realizing the virtually vampiric nature of how trauma is absorbed in today’s culture, it completely avoids engaging with the role race plays. Dec 16, 2022 Full Review Dylan Roth Observer Not Okay is an unflinching look at not just the superficiality of influencer culture but the ghastly commodification of trauma and tragedy that raises awareness but rarely actually helps anyone. Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Caroline Siede Fox 10 Phoenix The appreciable audacity of what [writer/director Quinn] Shephard is trying to do coupled with the stellar work of a uniformly great cast make this off-beat satire worth a "like and subscribe." Rated: B Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta The film is desperate to make sure that we know that it knows just how poorly its main character is behaving. While that self-conscious quality makes for an entertaining and often clever watch, it also breeds a tangled struggle between cynicism and hope. Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Ally Ham The Review Geek A convincing denouncement of the ways our culture categorizes and exploits trauma. Rated: 6/10 Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Paul Klein FILMHOUNDS Magazine Not only is the chemistry between Deutch and Isaac brilliant but you do get the sense that there is something stirring within Danni. Rated: 4/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Widi L ZOEY doesnt sell it tho. She looks annoying in this movie Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Stephen C LOL, 1 hour and 40 minutes of comedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Audience Member of course she's not okay she's french Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Audience Member The movie is worth watching. It's good but sad, and I felt bad for Danni throughout the film. I never once thought she was a bad person—instead, I saw her as a lost soul and felt sorry for her. While there were plenty of cringy moments, there were also some laughs and drama! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review The H Really cool film!!! Protagonist sort of becomes the villain of the story. This movie covers very heavy topics like terrorism & gun violence, the emotions were believable, the story/premise is unique & interesting, would recommend this film to practically anyone. Also neat to see a US film that doesn't have the "happy ending" sort of situation which plagues most movies here in the states. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Thipa a The only thing that stands out is the acting, otherwise, everything feels plain and falls flat. It’s predictable in a dull way and I never felt truly engaged. The journey from beginning to end lacks any real peaks or moments of excitement. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
