Review of Zola (2021) by Jluis_001 — 24 Jul 2021

With just 85 minutes, and based on a viral Twitter thread, Zola is a film that believes it's saying something interesting or noticeable when in fact it's no more incoherent, inconsequential, forgettable and irrelevant than the thing that inspire its creation.

And considering that very thing that inspired it, and with a generation of people that's perpetually staring at their phones for a new drama, how could they have thought this would get more attention?

Good showcase for its two protagonists, but that's as good as it gets.

There's now two strikes on a row for A24. I'm a bit worried.
