À propos de ce film

Y'all wanna hear a story about why me & this bitch here fell out? It's kind of long but full of suspense." Thus began the odyssey of one A'Ziah King, aka ZOLA. From acclaimed writer/director Janicza Bravo, Zola's stranger than fiction saga, which she first told in a now iconic series of viral, uproarious tweets, comes to dazzling cinematic life. Zola (Taylour Paige), a Detroit waitress, strikes up a new friendship with a customer, Stefani (Riley Keough), who seduces her to join a weekend of dancing and partying in Florida. What at first seems like a glamorous trip full of "hoeism" rapidly transforms into a 48-hour journey involving a nameless pimp, an idiot boyfriend, some Tampa gangsters and other unexpected adventures in this wild, see-it-to-believe-it tale.

Notes et avis

Colman Domingo is the only believable performance. Everything else about this movie is a horrible mess. The script is horrible. the dialogue is weak The characters are completely unlikable. And the movie literally does not have an ending. It tries its best to show the relationships between pimps and working girls but it doesn't delve into the true manipulations and the true psychological damage done. Don't watch this movie

Had trouble sleeping so my wife made me watch this garbage, it did however do the trick, within the first five minutes I fell completely out into dreamland.

This is just another case where the book ie Twitter was better but it was still good. There are obviously alot of you who have no idea this a Twitter story thread...you can go to her Twitter which is @zola and read the whole thing but it was from like 2016. Good job Zola.
