Not Okay is about a woman who lied her way to internet fame, then crashed and burned. This message film uses darkly satirical comedy with underpinnings from our broken celebrity culture. The dark comedy begins even before the movie starts with a warning, “This film contains an unlikeable female protagonist. Viewer discretion advised.” There are spoilers in this review.
The Politician, the latest production from Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy, is equal parts brilliant and scattered. It’s pretentiously adult but set in a high school. Thematically it jumps around from one idea to another and never quite lands. Ryan Murphy regulars abound. Yet overall, it’s wonderful.
