I guess a Twitter thread doesn’t really translate well to film.

Absolutely creative, perfectly told in the form of a story that is almost fantasy (the use of mirrors). Bravo represents a story from Twitter with irony (Stefani's version) and with visual and sound ideas (the use of colors) that seem to have no end. An entertaining but at the same time profound reflection on social networks and their influence. A film in which small details are discovered in each scene. emoji heart.

Kind of disturbing that this was all a twitter thread, kind of dystopian. Zola was a different approach to filmmaking and scriptwriting that I was curious to check out but the end-result was only so-so. The visuals are often stunning and the nods to the original platforms the stories were posted on were funny, but the narrative just wasn’t strong enough to hold a whole feature film.

From my perspective, “Zola” almost felt like a horror movie; I can’t believe such lifestyles exist in our world (and I am not talking about pimps and escorts). More unsettling than the characters we met during Frank’s joyride in “Blue Velvet”. The plot is based on a supposedly real story posted in a Twitter thread, and even though it falls apart towards the end, is always put into action with interesting directorial choices. I also liked that they added smartphone graphics and notification chimes without getting overwhelming.

“You wanna hear a story about why me and this b--ch here fell out? It’s kind of long but full of suspense.”

On paper (or on an iPhone screen), “Zola” sounds like one of the worst ever ideas for a feature-length film. Based on a real-life Twitter thread between a Hooters waitress and a s More

Janicza Bravo’s long-awaited star of Sundance, _@zola_, could not feel more timely, despite the year-long delay. Adapted from the viral Twitter thread of 2015 by Aziah “Zola” More
