Mila Kunis

It took Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher five years to bring their solar-powered farm at their Beverly Hills home to life.

"The idea of leading by example only makes sense when you actually have someone to lead," she continues. "Whether it's learning something new, doing something a little bit scary — all of that makes you stronger." All of the timber used on the farm was salvaged from an old Wonder Bread factory, and the land works off of solar-powered energy. This has been a big learning curve for all of us," Kunis says. "We didn't realize how incredible it was to have a fully sustainable house until the world shut down." The couple's daughter Wyatt, 7, and son Dmitri, 5, work alongside their parents to produce a fruitful harvest each season.

The now-39-year-old actor first landed the part of spoiled teenager Jackie Burkhart on the eight-season sitcom when she was 14. However, as the directors were ...

A hollow adaptation of Jessica Knoll's 2015 novel centers on a woman whose perfect life is corroded by past trauma.

Aurelia is impressive as a teenager reeling from shame and bristling at pressure to report from her English teacher (Scoot McNairy) and bullied friends Arthur (Thomas Barbusca) and Ben (David Webster). The young TiffAni (Chiara Aurelia) is a nondescript teen: interested in English, embarrassed by her gauche, middle-class mother (Connie Britton), down to party. The cracks appear from the start – shopping with Luke for wedding registry knives, Ani imagines them dripping in blood – and widen when a documentarian approaches her to tell her side of a tragic story. [Where the Crawdads Sing](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jul/12/where-the-crawdads-sing-review-daisy-edgar-jones), another adaptation of a literary smash about a jagged female protagonist tapped by Reese Witherspoon. Many of the movies’ problems are book problems, made worse, in the case of Luckiest Girl Alive, by decisions to sand down the novel’s more uncomfortable psychology and graft the ending on to the #MeToo movement. It’s of the time for a mid-2010s literary hit, but also seems to anticipate the 2022

Kunis plays Ani FaNelli, a have-it-all magazine journalist close to landing her dream job at the New York Times and marrying her wealthy boyfriend Luke (Finn ...

But “Luckiest Girl Alive” falls short of its promise, a reminder that, however ironic the title is intended to be, fortune tends to favor the bold. As constructed, unfortunately, in an adaptation of the book written by its author, Jessica Knoll, and directed by Mike Barker, “Luckiest Girl Alive” feels as if it’s juggling too many plates – joining the story in progress and laboring to connect the mass shooting to Ani’s story in a way that muddles the mystery. [Mila Kunis](https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/24/world/mila-kunis-stand-with-ukraine-cnnheroes/index.html) produces and stars in this #MeToo-tinged story, which awkwardly incorporates a mass school shooting as well as gender and class politics into what becomes an ungainly mix of hot-button issues in one dramatic package.

Just because author Jessica Knoll adapted her own book “Luckiest Girl Alive” for the Netflix movie doesn't mean she didn't make some changes — including to the ...

“I — again, kudos to Jess that she was able to create a character that she wasn’t married to necessarily, and loved and created, but also allowed [director] Mike Barker and I to go and innovate and create a new North Star,” Kunis continued. It’s the the idea of your inner voice and your outer voice becoming one, which there’s a metaphor behind that but there’s also the literal moment in the movie where that happens.” “Who [Knoll] was when she wrote the book and her North Star when she wrote the book changed when she was writing the script. She takes the new editor job that her “Women’s Magazine” boss grandfathers her into at “Glow Magazine,” choosing to live a life for herself, and for her past self. “It’s like the cool thing about the juxtaposition of it all where you understand her logic. She also highlighted the clashing of Ani’s different selves that creates such a tense dynamic in the film.

If you finish watching Netflix's Luckiest Girl Alive without feeling as angry as Ani, you didn't watch it right.

It offers a career-best performance from Mila Kunis and isn’t afraid to throw salt in two giant wounds that can’t and won’t heal until we treat them with the seriousness they demand. Ultimately, the movie is a series of punches to the gut, most of which you never see coming. You never know what she’s going to do or say, and once the movie starts wrapping up and makes the core of her behavior clear, you fully understand and relate to the character. On the other hand, men get the benefit of the doubt, excuses are handed to them on a silver platter, and their entire existence is perceived as nuanced – and you definitely can’t pin them to a single mistake in life, because they are much more than that. Not only is this explicitly stated in a flashback by one of Ani’s teachers, but you constantly hear Ani's voiceover contradicting a lot of what she does and says onscreen. Based on a New York Times best-selling novel by author Jessica Knoll (who also pens the script), Luckiest Girl Alive tells the story of a magazine writer who’s aiming to make it to the top rankings of the writing world.

Author/screenwriter Jessica Knoll also tells PEOPLE her thoughts on continuing the 'Luckiest Girl Alive' story beyond the new Netflix movie.

Seven years is a long time, even more than that because I started writing the book in 2013, so it's almost 10 years that this story and character have been a part of my life," Knoll says. "It feels like there's a lot of emotion behind this project and thinking that I'll never work on it again is bittersweet. Kunis, 39, who is also a producer on the film, recently told PEOPLE she would be on board if asked to return for a sequel: "Oh my God, I hope my character is happier! The reader comments included in the ending are an amalgam of actual messages she received after coming forward, and Knoll's voice is one of the narrators featured in that sequence. Chiara Aurelia, who plays Kunis' teen counterpart in flashbacks, echoed that sentiment, adding, "Yes a hundred-million times over. Her powerful essay makes it into The New York Times and inspires fellow survivors to feel less alone.

"It's just coming to terms with who you are," Kunis says of the Netflix adaptation of Jessica Knoll's novel.

'Black Swan' star Mila Kunis has confirmed a longstanding rumour about how she landed her breakout role as Jackie Burkhart on 'That '70s Show'.

The trajectory of my career could've gone any which way but the set was cool." The actress revealed to Vanity Fair that in order to bag the role, she lied about her age. I did."

The cast redeems a film that starts off on an ambitious high but ends in a mire of mediocrity.

It’s a cast that redeems a film which starts off on an ambitious high but ends in a mire of mediocrity. We examine the concept of afternoon tea and its universal appeal as a meal. The screenplay uses the tragic school incident as a basis to zero in on everything that happens in the film. Without giving away spoilers, if the film’s half-baked finale reduces Ani to a mere plastic symbol of all that the story represents, the fact is ironic because Mila Kunis strives to rise above the script material at hand. The film underwhelms with the way it leads up to its closure. The storytelling, though, is interesting in the way it lets Ani play the field. Kunis as Ani is constantly in voiceover mode, in order to reveal everything from her obvious trust issues to her habit of indulging in the occasional white lie. Soliloquies work fine for a novel when it comes to securing an emotional bond between characters and the reader. Knoll draws from her real-life stint as a former editor of Cosmopolitan to imagine Ani as a senior editor at a fashion glossy called The Women’s Bible. A film of this genre would be expected to have a crisp narrative while unfolding the suspense and driving home the deeper context of its story. The constantly shifting of the story between present day and flashback helps build curiosity up to a point, about what exactly happened in high school all those years ago. He is out to make a film on a shocking incident that took place in the posh private high school that Ani attended as a teenager, which brings back memories of a chain of horrifying incidents.

Based on Jessica Knoll's 2015 novel of the same name, Luckiest Girl Alive gives a refreshing voice to a lot of what usually goes unsaid—bullying, ...

Luckiest Girl Alive does too and it does more; it leaves you with a haunting William Faulkner quote: “The past is never dead. Based on Jessica Knoll’s 2015 novel of the same name which was also an NYT bestseller, Luckiest Girl Alive amplifies a lot of what usually remains unsaid—bullying, gun violence in American schools, sexual assault, rape, the stigma around victimhood, and the discrimination and humiliation that people from low-income backgrounds suffer. Watch out for the scene when the young Ani apologetically tells her boyfriend that she thinks she was raped. Mila Kunis makes Ani her own with care and nuance, making you push back, gasp for breath, and pass a sly smile when she does. She lives in New York City, is gearing up for a posh wedding, and is about to be offered the position of senior editor at the New York Times Magazine. Ani Fanelli is a 28-year-old senior editor at The Women’s Bible, a magazine for men’s pleasure.

Mila Kunis says it was “shocking” and “insane” Will Smith received a standing ovation when he picked up his best actor Oscar after he attacked Chris Rock.

Will has repeatedly apologised for slapping Chris on stage in March and reached out to the comic to get in touch, admitting his attack was “unacceptable” and “inexcusable”. Apple plans to release the Smith-led Civil War drama on its streaming service in December, less than a year after Will stormed the stage to slap Chris over a joke about the shaven head being sported at the ceremony by his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, 51, who suffers from alopecia – before weeping after the assault on stage when picking up his best actor trophy for his performance in ‘King Richard’. Mila Kunis says it was “shocking” and “insane” Will Smith received a standing ovation when he picked up his best actor Oscar after he attacked Chris Rock.
