Luckiest Girl Alive

Ani FaNelli appears to have everything: a sought-after job at a glossy magazine, a stylish wardrobe, and a wedding to a wealthy fiancé on the horizon. That carefully built life begins to shift when a documentary filmmaker approaches her about a violent incident from her time at the Bradley School, asking her to tell her side of what happened. Revisiting those years forces her to confront a truth she has long avoided and to question the version of herself she has presented to the world.

The film is directed by Mike Barker, whose previous features are A Good Woman and Butterfly on a Wheel. Jessica Knoll wrote the screenplay, adapting her own novel. Mila Kunis stars as Ani and also produced, alongside Erik Feig and Bruna Papandrea. Chiara Aurelia plays Ani as a teenager, with Finn Wittrock, Connie Britton, Alex Barone and Carson MacCormac among a credited cast of 54. The story moves between Ani's present in New York and her adolescence at an elite school, with the documentary as the device that links the two.

Released in September 2022, the film runs 113 minutes. On IMDb it holds 6.4 from over 54,000 votes, and on TMDB 6.5 from roughly 960 votes, suggesting modest but real audience engagement. Its film critics' rating of 5.4 from 57 reviews sits below the audience scores, indicating that viewers responded more favourably than reviewers did.
