Different, but I actually liked it.

‘Zola’ takes a few scenes to get into it and to get used to the stylistic choices, namely with the editing and dialogue, though by the end I did in fact enjoy this film. It’s a bonkers story, one that I semi heard about when it became known that a film was going to be made based on a thread of tweets.

It’s probably much better than it was any right to be in truth, all things considered, but the filmmakers made it work and deserve credit for that – and also for the astutely chosen short run time, too.

The acting talent bring noteworthy performances, with particularly Taylour Paige and also Riley Keough putting in the work. Colman Domingo is also good – I already like that guy from TV’s ‘Fear the Walking Dead‘, so it’s always a pleasure to see him act elsewhere.

Recommended.

“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 stripper, this stranger than fiction story played out over social media in 2015 — and damn if it doesn’t make for a wildly original, outrageously entertaining movie.

Zola (Taylour Paige) meets Stefani (Riley Keough) at a restaurant in Detroit, where the two begin chatting about their common interest: pole dancing. Soon after they meet, Stefani invites Zola on a cross-country road trip to Tampa, where they hope to make thousands of dollars dancing in the swanky Florida strip clubs. What starts out as a promising business venture turns into an absolutely crazy (and dangerous) outing with violent pimps, prostitution, attempted suicide, and murder. You have to see it to believe it. It’s crazy.

The story is (mostly) true, and writer – director Janicza Bravo focuses on Zola’s side of the story (although Stefani has a chance to present her version in one of the most hilarious bits in the film). You could say it’s all about individual perspective, but Zola is presented as the lone truth teller. Will we ever know the full truth? It’s unlikely.

The performances are as sensational as the story, with challenging and risky roles for all of the actors involved. Paige and Keough (in what was my favorite performance at Sundance this year) are particularly fearless as they go all-in on Zola and Stefani, Nicholas Braun is sympathetic as a kind, long-suffering boyfriend, and Colman Domingo is downright frightening as an intimidating, violent pimp. The cast takes the script and runs wild with it, and it works.

Bravo has achieved something incredible here, as she literally takes tweets and has crafted them into a saucy screenplay. The film has an appealing eccentricity to it, and it’s directed with a tongue-in-cheek style that fits the material like a glove. Her attention to detail is stellar, and the look of the film is perfectly matched to its source material.

“Zola” has a few missteps and feels overly long, but the confidence from Bravo and her cast makes the majority of its flaws disappear. It manages to stay funny, even when things get very, very dark. This is one of those wacky movies that is sure to be talked about, if only for the sheer insanity of the story.

I was not expecting to like it that much, but I did.
So now we have come to the point were we are making movies based on a Twitter feed?

No shade being thrown here, as this movie proves a good story is a good story and this was a good story so I give props to the original source.

It’s got suspense and its got humor and just a bunch of insane characters.

It’s like Spring breakers only at 11.

Highly enjoyable.

Entertaining But Insubstantial
Is “Zola” the first movie ever adapted from a Twitter feed? Quite possibly.

Is that why the movie feels so inconclusive, and why I have so many questions about the story it tells that were never answered? Probably. “Zola” feels like the middle of a story, with the beginning and ending left out. I found myself pretty wildly entertained by it, but scratching my head afterwards. I really don’t understand how this story played out over Twitter, and I’m dying to know what if any fallout there was for the characters after the events portrayed in the film. How much of it is fictionalized? Does the main character continue to live in fear of the murderer and pimp because of what she knows about him? Did that part of the story really happen, or was it made up for the film? Just. So. Many. Questions.

But what the film lacks in narrative clarity or even sense it makes up for in energy and terrific performances. This is a movie about sleazy, trashy people acting obnoxious for 90 minutes, and your tolerance for the movie will depend on your tolerance for hanging out with people like this. I have none, so I’m as surprised as anyone by the fact that I not only tolerated but liked this movie. I credit the actors for that, who know exactly how to deliver the snarky, satirical material for maximum impact. The movie is like one big long meme if a meme could be set in motion.

“Zola” dissolved into the ether for me the second it was over, but it provided a little bit of fun, mostly mindless entertainment before doing so. It was certainly way more fun than the experience of actually reading a Twitter feed.
