A bold, kinetic adaptation of a viral Twitter thread, Zola follows Zola (Taylour Paige) and her friend Stefani (Riley Keough) on a reckless road trip that spirals into danger. Neon-lit visuals, rapid edits, and unsettling humor fuse with a stark social critique of exploitation, sex work, and friendship under pressure. Directed by Janicza Bravo, the film is a sharp crime drama with dark comedy and feverish energy that captures a wild, unforgettable true-crime night.
