Luckiest Girl Alive is a 2022 mystery thriller about a young woman who has her life under control until a trauma from her past is unleashed.
Mila Kunis stars as the "luckiest girl in the world" in Netflix's adaptation of Jessica Knoll's 2015 best-selling novel of the same name. The film opens in select theaters on September 30 and will stream on Netflix on October 7.
Director: Mike Barker
Writer: Jessica Knoll
Stars: Mila Kunis, Justine Lupe, Jennifer Beals
Kunis plays New York Times Magazine editor Ani FaNelli, who seems to be living the perfect life in New York City: with the best fashion, the best friends, and the best fiancée. Ani has it all, until the director of a true crime documentary approaches her to relive a shocking incident from her prestigious high school. Ani is forced to confront a past that threatens her future. "I don't know what I am and what part I made up," Kunis says as Ani in the trailer.
“Cruel Summer” breakout Chiara Aurelia stars as the teenage version of Ani, with Thomas Barbusca, Scoot McNairy, Justine Lupe, Dalmar Abuzeid, Alex Barone, Carson MacCormac and Jennifer Beals also starring. Connie Britton plays Ani's mother.
“Handmaid’s Tale” director Mike Barker is directing the film and is also an executive producer along with screenwriter Knoll, Lisa Sterbakov, Shayne Fiske Goldner and Steve Hutensky. Lead star Kunis is producing the film, as well as Bruna Papandrea, Jeanne Snow, Erik Feig and Lucy Kitada.
Novelist, screenwriter, and executive producer Knoll shared that she was unable to be present on set during the climactic sequence due to her personal experience with traumatic events. Former Cosmopolitan editor Knoll revealed in 2016 that she was gang raped when she was a teenager. Knoll wrote a personal essay for Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter saying "The Luckiest Girl in the World" helped her deal with her trauma.
"The first person to tell me I was gang raped was a therapist, seven years after the fact," Knoll wrote (via People). “The second was my literary agent, five years later, only she didn't talk about me. She was talking about Ani, the protagonist of my novel, 'The Luckiest Girl in the World', which is a work of fiction. What I have kept to myself, until today, is that the inspiration for her is not”.
Knoll continued: “I've been running and I've been ducking and I've been dodging because I'm scared. I'm afraid that people won't call what happened to me rape because for a long time no one did."
