Mila Kunis may not actually be the Luckiest Girl Alive in new trailer

It won’t surprise you to hear that everything with Ani is not as perfect as it seems, even if she does hate babies. A chance encounter with a high school teacher sends Ani spiraling to her troubled past. In flashbacks, the young Tiffani is played by Chiara Aurelia, a seasoned veteran at playing a vilified high schooler on Freeform’s Cruel Summer, which similarly travels through time to unravel a murky incident in the protagonist’s past.

In this case, teen Tiffani clearly had a lot troubling her. The trailer teases prep school girls screaming as they flee flooded corridors, Tiffani getting forcibly thrown onto a bed and looking bedraggled in a convenience store, and an honest-to-god explosion. In the present, the adult Ani is threatened by a classmate and questioned by a fellow reporter as to whether she was a “hero or an accomplice” in “the incident” at her high school.

“I don’t know what’s me and what part I invented,” she admits to her fiancé, later musing in voiceover, “Sometimes I feel like a wind-up doll. Turn my key, and I will tell you exactly what you want to hear.”

Luckiest Girl Alive is directed by Mike Barker with a script from Jessica Knoll, who wrote the novel upon which the movie is based. The film also stars Connie Britton, Jennifer Beals, Scoot McNairy, Thomas Barbusca, Justine Lupe, Dalmar Abuzeid, Alex Barone, and Carson MacCormac. It premieres on Netflix on October 7, 2022.
