streaming platform Friday. Based on Jessica Knoll’s best-selling 2015 novel of the same name, the drama concerns successful NYC magazine writer Ani FaNelli (Kunis), whose meteoric rise is jeopardized by a True Crime documentary that details her harrowing experiences in high school.

These include surviving a school shooting and enduring a gang-rape at 14, which was largely ignored by her peers and adults.“LGA,” which is also produced by Kunis, 39, explores the phenomenon of victim blaming and the scarlet-lettering of sexual assault survivors in graphic detail — perhaps too graphic for some audiences.Following the R-rated film’s release on Netflix, appalled viewers took to social media to complain about its disturbing depictions of rape.

Some felt these brutally realistic scenes warranted “trigger warnings” beyond the platform’s standard pre-screening disclaimer, which only briefly mentions “sexual violence” and “threat” on top of the screen when the movie begins.“Wow.

Good job, @netflix on the trigger warning you didn’t provide on your Luckiest Girl Alive movie smh,” snarked one disappointed viewer. “PSA for anyone who is gonna watch the movie, there is very graphic intense scenes of sexual assault in this movie.”“Netflix really dropped the ball on not adding a giant trigger warning for Luckiest Girl Alive,” declared another.One disturbed watcher warned, “Anyone thinking of watching the new film on Netflix ‘Luckiest girl alive’ please be aware there are some SA scenes that have not been highlighted in the genre/description section on Netflix.
