Netflix is boosting its Australian slate with a limited drama series titled Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the story of a notorious scam in the health and wellness industry. Produced with Australia’s See-Saw Films and Picking Scabs, the show will be directed by Jeffrey Walker (The Artful Dodger, Modern Family) and co-star star Kaitlyn Dever, Alycia Debnam-Carey and Aisha Dee.
The series is created by award-winning Australian writer Samantha Strauss (Nine Perfect Strangers), who is scripting the show with Anya Beyersdorf and Angela Betzien.
The series is inspired by the real-life story of disgraced Australian wellness influencer Belle Gibson, who built a massive social media following by claiming that she was successfully overcoming a terminal brain cancer diagnosis via healthy eating and other wellness remedies.

With the streaming bubble bursting and entertainment companies retooling their vision for the future of television, it seems like every new day yields a polarizing series cancellation. From viewership stats to marketing pitfalls and budgetary concerns, TV series are seeing the plug pulled at a seemingly faster rate than ever before — in some cases, after production has been completed and even before they’ve had a chance to air.
For example, after outcry over recently canned series like “1899,” “First Kill” and “Warrior Nun,” Netflix’s new co-ceos Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said they have never canceled a “successful show.” Platforms like AMC, Starz, Showtime and HBO Max have pulled shows despite having the majority of filming finished or nearly done so. And for Hulu, journalists and audiences raised disappointment following the cancellation of “Reboot.”

The Netflix film follows Cami, a young woman who starts to doubt her relationship with her partner Paul when two other men enter her life. Choose Love stars Laura Marano, Avan Jogia, Scott Michael Foster, and Jordi Webber.

The millennial women-led series is dead. Long live the millennials.
It wasn’t exactly surprising when Freeform’s beloved critically acclaimed “Single Drunk Female” was canceled this month after just two seasons and immediately pulled from Hulu. Sure, Freeform touted the sitcom as the highest-rated original comedy during the New York City Season 2 premiere before the series returned with all new episodes on Hulu in April. But its cancellation is just one of the many reminders that networks don’t invest long-term in women-fronted shows that focus on “messy” millennial women.
While we pour one out for “Single Drunk Female,” it’s best to trace the series back to its roots with Lena Dunham and executive producer Jenni Konner’s explosively disruptive HBO series “Girls,” which celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2022. After that massive hit, why has TV abandoned the generation of people who grew up watching “Girls”?

Accused, again, takes on a topic that is controversial and challenging. Esme is genuinely a sympathetic character. Abigal Breslin brings her to life with the deep sadness of a child traumatized by hatred.
Her portrayal of Esme, or Essie as her loved ones know her, was multi-dimensional and engaging. We saw her passionate love for her girlfriend, yet her bigoted upbringing haunted her.
Accused Season 1 Episode 10 delivered moments of tension, discomfort, and downright barbarity.
As nasty as the depiction of White Nationalists is, it reads authentic. The radical terrorists feel fully justified in their anger and self-righteous need to protect themselves.
Does it make sense? No. But it explains in a straightforward way why these people feel threatened. It reeks of entitlement, but perhaps that's their perspective.
A shining light in this episode was Esme's girlfriend, played by Aisha Dee. Her depth of emotion was evident in every scene.

Well, perhaps there is justice after all for Viola Davis, Kelly Reilly, Paul Dano, Keke Palmer and Oscar luncheon magnet Tom Cruise, all Emmy and Oscar un-nominated for their work over the past year but represented in the Critics Choice Super Award nominations, honoring horror, superhero, science fiction and action movies and television series.
Oscar nominees such as Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) and Angela Bassett (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”) are also repped here, as well as Colin Farrell, nominated twice for two of his other 2022 films, “After Yang” and “The Batman”. (Co-nominee Brendan Fraser managed a nod for the HBO Max series “Doom Patrol as well). Bassett similarly scored a second nomination for her leading role on Fox’s “9-1-1.”

Carnage ensues when a social media star reluctantly agrees to attend a former friend’s hen party in this impressively unpredictable film

Sissy, a very sassy and diabolically entertaining new Australian horror movie from director-writing team Hannah Barlow and Kane Senes, puts in its satirical crosshairs two things once believed to be good for humankind, but now widely regarded as evidence of our continued descent into self-inflicted destruction: social media and the wellness industry.
Cecilia, Aka Sissy (Aisha Dee), is an influencer and self-professed “mental health advocate” desperate to keep the likes and engagements coming. The film’s sardonic commentary about “wellness” and the depravities of online existence are closely linked with her vainglorious personality and cringe-inducing behaviour.

Plot: Teen best friends Cecilia and Emma, after a decade run into each other. Cecilia is invited to Emma’s bachelorette weekend. But now she’s stuck in a remote cabin with her high school bully, with a taste for revenge.
Review: If you’ve ever experienced bullying, then Sissy may be an uncomfortable watch at first. The idea of having your childhood bullies reintroduced to your life, and then going away with them for a weekend sounds like a horror movie in and of itself. But then add the actual horror twist of revenge? Then you’ve got yourself an interesting time at the movies.
The title of the film comes from Aisha Dee’s character, Cecilia, also known as Sissy. And it is not an easy role to portray. It would all too easy for Sissy to be extremely unlikable and self-centered yet Dee is able to bring...

In an age where the number of likes, retweets and follows you get is more valuable currency than money itself, it’s no surprise that the horror genre has taken to incorporating things like influencer culture into their social commentary. That’s just what happens in Hannah Barlow and Kane Senes‘ darkly comedic satire Sissy, which follows social media influencer Sissy Cecilia as past traumas resurface during a bachelorette party weekend that turns murderous.
Sissy follows Cecilia and Emma, two teenage friends who were inseparable until Alex (Emily De Margheriti) arrived on the scene and bullied Cecilia, leading to a violent incident that forced the two to part ways. Twelve years later, Cecilia is a successful social media influencer with 200,000 followers living the dream of an independent, modern millennial woman.

Stars: Aisha Dee, Hannah Barlow, Emily De Margheriti, Lucy Barrett, Yerin Ha, Daniel Monks | Written and Directed by Hannah Barlow, Kane Senes
A social media influencer unravels when she accidentally meets her childhood bully in this blackly comic horror, co-written and co-directed by Australian husband-and-wife filmmakers Hannah Barlow and Kane Senes. With a thematically rich, genre-savvy script, some delightfully nasty gore moments and a terrific central performance from Aisha Dee, this is one of the best horror movies of the year.
Sissy centres on Cecilia (Dee), who used to be called Sissy at school, where she was the target of bullying. Now in her early 20s, Cecilia has reinvented herself as a social media influencer, offering self-help advice and mental health tips. However, there are hints that Cecilia’s life isn’t quite as together as she likes to make out, at least if the off-camera state of her apartment is anything to go by.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read unless you have watched “Look Both Ways,” streaming now on Netflix.
When Lili Reinhart got the call to star in and executive produce her first Netflix film, the “Riverdale” actor was all-in. With the popular CW series set to end next year after seven seasons, the 25-year-old is ready to re-establish herself outside of the beloved character Betty Cooper, and “Look Both Ways” marks the beginning of that next chapter.
The dramedy, out Wednesday on Netflix, follows Natalie, an ambitious woman who takes a pregnancy test on the eve of her college graduation. From there, her life diverges into two parallel realities — one in which she stays in Texas and becomes a young mom, and the other where she isn’t pregnant and moves to L.A. to pursue her dream of becoming an animator.

On paper, a film that is basically a mash-up of “Sliding Doors” and “Peggy Sue Got Married” starring “Riverdale‘s” Lili Reinhart should be a fun, diverting rom-com to wrap up the summer. Unfortunately, the new Netflix film “Look Both Ways” is misguided on almost every level.
Reinhart plays soon-to-be college graduate Natalie whose five-year, post-grad plan includes moving to Los Angeles with her best friend Cara and pursuing work in feature animation.

In director Wanuri Kahiu’s “Look Both Ways,” a twentysomething woman is confronted with a pivotal situation that splits her life in two, eventually landing both versions of herself at a crossroads. The film mixes the conceits of “Sliding Doors” and “For Keeps” into one refurbished product, eschewing fantasy or melodrama in favor of grounded authenticity and levity. While the filmmakers’ heads and hearts are in the right place with their resonant sentiments on taking risks and embracing fate, their execution of narrative basics proves lackluster.
Natalie (Lili Reinhart) may look like an animated Disney princess, but her life is no fairytale. The soon-to-be college graduate has a five-year plan for success. Or at least she thought she did. She didn’t factor in the spontaneous sex she and friend Gabe (Danny Ramirez) had after finals, which leaves her puking her guts out and taking a pregnancy test at a rowdy graduation party.

Sissy
Few genre film this year have made quite as much impact as Sissy, an Australian horror comedy with important subtext about bullying, social media, and how we process our negative experiences. It stars Aisha Dee as the title character (who now prefers to be called Cecilia), a young woman who has built up a following as an internet self-help guru, whose carefully constructed world falls apart when she once again comes face to face with the girls who made her miserable at school. Stylistically informed by the slasher movies of the Eighties and Nineties, it takes a slightly different approach as a series of violent altercations are seen from the perspective of this troubled lead.
“I think we wanted to expand the horror genre and the slasher tropes to subvert them some in some way,” says co-director Hannah Barlow, who also stars in the film as Cecilia’s sometime best.

There’s some delicate subject matter at the heart of Hannah Barlow and Kane Senes’ Sissy. It’s unavoidable when you’re spring-boarding from an objectively tragic event that occurred during childhood. While young Sissy may have been the one who physically assaulted Alex when they were age twelve, that isolated and impulsive act of violence was ignited by months or years of psychological torment inflicted by the injured. Does the event make Sissy a monster regardless of those circumstances? Or can society look beyond the visual aftermath and see the invisible pain that drove her to do what she did? Is Sissy still the good person she believes she is or a villain—a “psychopath”—that Alex will justifiably never forgive? The filmmakers daringly choose a bit of both.
Herein lies the problem: allowing us to even think Cecilia is a psychopath provides unfortunate implications. It absolves Alex (Emily De Margheriti...

One of the most talked-about films at queer and horror festivals this year, and a clear favourite amongst filmmakers themselves, Hannah Barlow and Kane Senes’ Sissy is one of a number of works at the Fantasia International Film Festival which address the process of recovering from trauma, but none of the others does so with anything like as much gusto. A reversed perspective take on the slasher movies of the Eighties and Nineties, with a similarly vibrant colour palette, it gets to the nub of who cinematic villains so often start out as victims, and why many viewers root for them, while retaining full awareness of the horror of its title character’s actions.
‘Sissy’ is, in fact, the name she (Aisha Dee) was known by at school – both a shortened form of her real name and a taunt. These days she prefers to be known as Cecilia. She works.

“Look Both Ways” star Lili Reinhart experiences a life-changing moment on the night she graduates college in the trailer Netflix released Tuesday for the feature film.

“Have you ever wondered ‘what if?’” Reinhart’s voiceover says at the beginning of the trailer. “What if I’d moved to that city? Gone to another school? Or considered hooking up with that one friend?”
