Luckiest Girl Alive
Trigger warning: movie contains scenes of rape and a school shooting Mila Kunis and a movie based on a book, that's all I thought going into this one. Well, buckle up because it's a much more serious and gut-wrenching movie than expected. Ani Fanelli is just trying to upgrade her career and marry her dream … Continue reading Luckiest Girl Alive
