Zoe Kravitz ’s directorial debut, the film Blink Twice , has issued a trigger warning ahead of its premiere on Friday, August 23. “We are proud to finally share Blink Twice with audiences in theaters worldwide this week. Blink Twice is a psychological thriller about the abuse of power,” Amazon MGM Studios, which distributed the film in the United States, wrote via a statement shared via X on Wednesday, August 21.
“While this is a fictionalized movie, it contains mature themes and depictions of violence — including sexual violence.” The studio added that elements of the movie “may be upsetting or triggering for some viewers.” The company also provided a link to Blink Twice’s official resource website which is offering support to those affected by the message.
“ BLINK TWICE has been rated R by the MPAA for strong violent content, sexual assault, drug use and language throughout, and some sexual references,” the website reads. “The film explores themes of sexual violence, power dynamics, and the complex experiences of sexual abuse survivors.” The message continued: “If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence – it is NOT your fault and you are NOT alone.
” The website also included the contact information for RAINN which operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline . The hotline is free and confidential and available 24 hours a day. Directed by Kravitz, Blink Twice stars her fiancé, Channing Tatum , Naomi Ackie , Christian Slater ,.
