Old School. Biblically Independent.

Save for a brief cameo in The Boys, we haven’t seen that much of Mila Kunis since, really, the Bad Moms movies in 2016 and 2017. It’s not that Kunis disappeared; it’s that she made a few movies that very few people saw — Four Good Days and Breaking News in Yuba County, the latter of which I had no memory of seeing until realizing that I’d reviewed it.
She’s back-but-not-really in Luckiest Girl Alive, which is about a woman who has it all — she works at the NYTimes and is engaged to a man played by Finn Wittrock — until someone decides to make a documentary about a violent incident in her prep-school past. It’s based on the novel of the same name from Jessica Knoll, and I was going to look it up and figure out what that incident was in her past before realizing this kind of book is crack for me and while I don’t mind spoiling the movie for myself, I don’t want to spoil the novel. I’m a sucker for prep-school scandals.
Here’s the trailer for the movie adaptation, which also stars Connie Britton and Justine Lupe.
Luckiest Girl Alive premieres on October 7th.
