Zola

I guess a Twitter thread doesn’t really translate well to film.

A Twitter thread put to film, loosely true to the real story. ***Zola*** is a cautionary tale on fast-made friends, a reminder of what social media can do and a hard look at the sex work industry. It's trashy, exploitative, erotic (downright porn in some parts) and does a good job at displaying how trapped they are in the industry. Digged the mystery going in sinse I had no idea what this was about. The toilet scene at the beginning was quite clever. Very stylish and great cinematography. The comedy was very welcome, I laughed a lot. The performances are what make it so enjoyable for me. I wasn't really aware of the casting past Riley Keough going into the movie and I laughed so hard when I saw cousin Greg (*Succession*). Everyone did great (Keough, Paige, Domingo and Braun). It could have been shorter, I got a bit bored in some parts but thank god for the performances and comedy. It was all going so good (a 7/10) until it just kinda ends... no resolution whatsoever. Where's the rest of it??
