Look, this is a smart movie. It's well-made, well-acted, and uncomfortably accurate about Instagram culture and the mental health toll of curated online lives. Critics loved it for good reason.
But it's also genuinely disturbing. Not in a fun thriller way—in a 'this person needs serious psychiatric help and we're watching her spiral' way. The suicide attempt is handled ambiguously enough that parents flagged it as problematic. The violence comes in sudden, startling bursts. And there's no catharsis or clear lesson at the end.
This isn't a movie for teens, despite what the 15+ rating might suggest. It's for adults who want a dark, satirical mirror held up to social media culture. If you watch it with an older teen (17-18), you better be ready to have a serious conversation afterward about mental health, authenticity, and what healthy social media use actually looks like.
Is it worth watching? If you're an adult interested in sharp social commentary, yes. As family viewing? Absolutely not.
