People who have seen the new Netflix movie Luckiest Girl Alive starring Mila Kunis and called for a trigger warning to be shown before the movie starts have said that they agree.
In the movie, Ani’s (Kunis) life in New York City is almost perfect. But in the end, she has to face her past, and this is the part where a lot of people think there should be a trigger warning.
(Warning: This post contains spoilers and/or sensitive material.) It has come to light that when Ani was 14, she was raped by a gang. She also lived through a shooting at her school.

Even though Netflix has warned users that Luckiest Film Alive has “sexual violence,” many viewers think that this is not enough given how graphic the movie is and that it should be made clearer that the movie has “intense scenes of sexual assault.”
One viewer shared:
Why in the world does the movie Luckiest Girl Alive not have a trigger warning for s**ual assault?
It was extremely horrifying for me to watch that and caused a panic attack due to former trauma. DO BETTER AND FIX THIS!!!

Anyone thinking of watching the new Mila Kunis movie on Netflix Luckiest Girl Alivebe aware that there are graphic r*** scenes and also a huge emphasis on PTSD and trauma I feel the marketing for the movie hasn’t given these content warnings.

Netflix really need to start including content warnings at the start of some of their movies especially when these storylines have been kept out of trailers and marketing.
