After controversy over the domestic violence content in Blake Lively’s latest film, Zoë Kravitz’s new movie has been slapped with a trigger warning.
Zoë Kravitz’s new movie has been slapped with a trigger warning.
The 35-year-old ‘Batman’ actress features in Amazon MGM Studios’ ‘Blink Twice’, billed as a “psychological thriller about the abuse of power” – and on its release on Wednesday (21.08.24) the alert was posted on the social media accounts for the movie.
It said: “We are proud to finally share ‘Blink Twice’ with audiences in theatres worldwide this week.
“While this is a fictionalised movie, it contains mature themes and depictions of violence – including sexual violence.
“This may be upsetting or triggering for some viewers. For resources that offer support, visit BlinkTwiceResources.com.”
The post comes after the recently released domestic violence drama ‘It Ends With Us’ was slammed by some for not giving audiences an advance warning about its content.
Starring Blake Lively, 36, and directed by her co-star Justin Baldoni, 40, it did include the message in its end credits: “If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. Visit: www.nomore.org for information and support.”
Bridgette Stumpf, founder and executive director of Network for Victim Recovery of DC, was among its critics – and recently wrote in an essay for The Hollywood Reporter ‘It End With Us’ “ultimately fails the survivors it is supposed to advocate for”.
She said it was guilty of “glossing over its domestic violence content in the film’s marketing”, and by “not providing any content warnings prior to the start of the film”.
Bridgette hit out: “When watching the film in a packed theatre with a colleague on opening night, our first reaction as the film ended was disappointment that no resources were immediately offered for survivors as soon as credits rolled.
“Later, there was an end credits message, though it came after many had left.”
