  • On Nov. 29, 2022, a picture was shared on Reddit with a caption that claimed a movie began with a unique disclaimer. The warning purportedly read, Content Warning: This film contains flashing lights, themes of trauma, and an unlikable female protagonist. Viewer discretion advised. The caption of the Reddit post said that the movie was rated PG-13, but did not identify title. This claim was true. The disclaimer was displayed at the beginning of the film Not Okay, which was written and directed by Quinn Shepard. It was released on the Hulu streaming service on July 29, 2022. According to an interview with Shepard published by IndieWire.com, the unlikable female protagonist disclaimer at the beginning of the internet satire film was not a joke. Shepard said that the message at the beginning of Not Okay was added after viewers raised concerns during test screenings before the film was released: According to a synopsis on IMDb.com, Not Okay tells the story of a woman, Danni Sanders, who is portrayed by actor Zoey Deutch. Sanders doesn't have many social media followers, so she pretends (with the help of a green screen and some picture-editing tools) to be on a trip to Paris, France. However, things later take an unexpected turn. The trailer for Not Okay doesn't show the unlikable female protagonist warning, but does provide a glimpse at Deutch's portrayal of Sanders. (en)
