I enjoyed Luckiest Girl Alive, especially the directing, cinematography, and overall production quality. Visually, it’s really well done, and the way Mike Barker brought Ani’s world to life was impressive. The contrast between her seemingly perfect life and the darker, more haunting parts of her past was captured beautifully.
That being said, the plot felt a bit too packed for me. It’s like they tried to cram too much into the runtime, which made the storyline feel rushed and kind of hectic at times. Some parts that could have been explored more deeply were glossed over, and it made the pacing feel uneven. It’s almost like they were trying to do too much at once.
I also felt like the movie didn’t always let things sink in properly. Some of the more intense moments felt like they were brushed past too quickly, which took away from the emotional impact. It’s a shame because there are some powerful themes in there that could’ve hit harder if they’d had more room to breathe.
Overall, though, I still enjoyed it. Mila Kunis gave a great performance, and the film does a solid job at keeping you engaged, even if it doesn’t quite stick the landing in terms of pacing or depth.
