Netflix’s latest movie Luckiest Girl Alive starring Mila Kunis dropped earlier this month, but viewers have urged the streaming platform to add a trigger warning at the start of the film.
The dark thriller follows Ani FaNelli, a young woman in New York City who has reinvented her life following a series of traumatic events during her teenage years.
As part of a documentary, Ani has to relive the trauma which involves a gang rape and a high school shooting.
Viewers of the 18-certified film have taken to social media to alert followers that the film features “harrowing” scenes that some may find triggering.
Netflix mentions in the description that Luckiest Girl Alive features “sexual violence” and “threat”, but many have called for a clearer warning so viewers are aware the film features “intense scenes of sexual assault”.
Taking to Twitter, one user wrote: “Watched @netflix's Luckiest Girl Alive last night, and the gang rape scenes are pretty horrifying... Netflix – please consider including a trigger warning message.”

“Luckiest Girl Alive absolutely needs a trigger warning! Anyone planning on watching it know that it contains graphic violent sexual scenes,” another said.
Another penned: “Watched Luckiest Girl Alive & was not ready for that. Needs a trigger warning.”
“Luckiest Girl Alive needs a content warning, but what a great piece. Mila Kunis is brilliant, the themes are heavy, there will be trigger responses,” wrote one user.
The movie is based on the 2015 New York Times bestseller by Jessica Knoll.
It stars Connie Britton, Scoot McNairy and Finn Wittrock alongside Mila Kunis and can be streamed on Netflix now.
