If there’s one thing Netflix users love, it’s a good thriller. Whether it’s a limited series or a movie, you can always count on a Netflix thriller to reach the peak of the top 10.

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by author and screenwriter Jessica Knoll, Luckiest Girl Alive stars Mila Kunis as Ani FaNelli, a writer who has consciously remade herself out of the shadows of the trauma in her past. While working hard to put forth an image of perfection, Ani must also confront her past when it interferes with her present.

Upon release in October 2022, Luckiest Girl Alive mixed reception from critics, but they could all agree that Mila Kunis delivered an amazing performance that centers the film. It’s not the easiest movie to watch based on the subject matter, though there are still important messages to take away from Ani’s story.

Luckiest Girl Alive hit the peak of the top 10 movies ranking on Netflix in its opening weekend, where it remained for multiple days.

Verdict: WATCH
