Luckiest Girl Alive became a hit on Netflix overnight and was the most-watched film on the streaming site across October 3-9, clocking up more than 43 million hours viewed. Even weeks later, it still remains in Netflix's top 10 films in the UK list, currently in fifth spot.
It sees the return of much-loved Ukrainian actress Mila Kunis take the lead role of Ani Fanelli, a woman who has sought to reinvent herself in adult life and appears to have it all - a rich and handsome fiancé and a job at a women's glossy magazine. But as she is approached by a director for a new documentary, she is forced to confront her dark past, which saw her gang-raped as a teen by her classmates and later escape a school shooting.
While there is no denying Netflix viewers enjoyed the plot and acting, many others turned to social media to warn people about the very graphic scenes of sexual assault. Hundreds, including Rape Crisis England & Wales, have urged the film streamers to show a large trigger warning before it begins.
