Blink Twice has impressed fans after sharing a trigger warning ahead of its release – something the controversial blockbuster It Ends With Us failed to do. Zoe Kravitz ’s directorial debut, starring Channing Tatum and Naomi Ackie, follows tech billionaire Slater King (Channing) who invites young waitress Frida (Naomi) to his private island. But what begins as a luxurious, drug-fuelled idyll soon takes a sinister turn as Frida realises her best friend Jess (Alia Shawkat) has gone missing and she is suffering from mysterious memory loss.
The R-rated black comedy delves into the dark and twisted world of the mega-rich, and the heinous behavior they can get away with when they believe no-one is looking. The film is described as a ‘harrowing social commentary’ focused on ‘misogyny’ by the Evening Standard and a ‘post-#MeToo feminist party-girl nightmare thriller’ by Variety . Earlier today, production companies Amazon MGM Studios and Warner Bros, posted a trigger warning for ‘sexual violence’ to potential cinema-goers.
