  zola is a treat. zola is also the first film to dazzle from inside a cellphone's interface. bravo's sounds and images—candy-sweet, cyanide-laced—impart the feeling of being extremely online. many have tried this; it's possible only bravo has succeeded

  what lead us online are our bodies: sumptuous, various, fraught. we need answers. bravo and harris' screenplay cuts to the chase of what i can only call Instamacy: bonds forged in the fire of follow-back identification—ridiculous, fabulous, and doomed

  unforgettable: zola, in a tense moment, disassociating. fade-in of an aughts-era mac screensaver: a dazzling loop of what looks like a bioluminescent starfish flailing around in the pit of the sea. you'll know it when you see it if, like me, you've already spent hours of your life staring at it

  i'm biased and i love a lot of the people who made this movie but tbh it rocks

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★½ 8

  weird how this was adapted from a twitter thread, cause it has such overwhelming "i did it for the Grams" energy. a zillion possible reads on this one, but i liked it for how it explores the rift between real and imagined American lives. needs an ending, but Janicza Bravo, Mica Levi, and everyone else involved in the sound of this movie… damn. if you close your eyes you can practically hear the internet.

  everyone's good in this (even if your beloved cousin greg is a poor stand-in for pete davidson sorry), but special shoutout to riley keough for deciding that she didn't go far enough in AMERICAN HONEY.

  y’all wanna hear a story about how I was on Twitter minding my business, saw a crazy story going viral, and decided to screenshot and archive it on imgur?
   
  nearly 6 years since that fateful night on October 27th 2015 when I made my greatest contribution to the internet archive the universe conspired for me to move to NYC on the exact day of the Zola NYC premiere and Janicza Bravo is such a fucking G that she specifically had A24 reach out and offer me tickets without even knowing if I could make it.

  I got emotional at some point in the middle of the screening Just thinking of what it would have looked and felt like in…

  god bless janicza bravo and jeremy o. harris; in lesser hands, "based on a series of tweets" would be a giant flashing caution sign. (let this be the exception that proves the rule tho.) feel like i'm still processing a lot of this (and three people i asked after the screening felt the same way) but this is really something. i walked out of Lemon in 2017 (truly couldn't tell you why, i just think it wasn't hitting with me) but i was so enamored with janicza's style here that i'm tempted to give it another shot. several great choices that pair so well with mica levi's score to sell the perfect mix of a dreamlike fairytale and a insidiously-glistening horror film. hari nef said everything i'd wanna say much better

  forgot to mention... the movie's 90 minutes. :) the perfect movie length :) automatic five stars :)
