The Long Anticipated Wait For Zola Did Not Disappoint -

A24’s Zola premiered at Sundance to a largely wowed audience. Zola, written and directed by Janicza Bravo and starring Riley Keough and Taylour Paige, originated from a sprawling stripper saga that went viral in 2015 thanks to the storytelling of Zola.

At the #Zola premiere now and pretty much all of Hollywood is up in here. I’ve been waiting for this film for four years. I’m ready! #Sundance2020

If you were on twitter approx five years ago, you may remember a thread that started with “y’all wanna here a story?” Well, I just watched the movie based on that twitter thread and whew. A wild ride that starts strong then kinda peters out.

ZOLA is on an UNCUT GEMS level of insanity as a story and stressful experience. It's hilarious, stylish, creative, and everything you expect from a Twitter thread come to life. A true rollercoaster experience that NEEDS to be in conversation for the whole year. #Sundance2020

Zola is Hustlers meets Spring Breakers meets Bling Ring meets The Florida Project in the best way

ZOLA is FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS on clear heels. It's takes the essence of why we anxiously read @_zolarmoon's tweets laced w/ Janicza Bravo's awkwardly funny vibe & a Jeremy O. Harris beat.

Hysterical, authentic & the best of what the internet inspire. #Sundance2020
