A Frustrating Watch

Reviewed by arungeorge13 6 / 10

A fast-paced high-school thriller that may not satisfy most viewers! [+60%]

Jane is actually a slap in the face of those of believe in karma. Director Sabrina Jaglom and her co-writer Rishi Rajani uses the trauma trope not just as a means to drive the plot, but to keep proceedings engaging and deceitful. It takes more than a couple of retaliatory instances to understand whether Olivia (Madelaine Petsch, who does a great job making us hate her) is doing the things she does as a trauma response or because she's pure evil. I liked how social media has a pretty major role to play in the film, and how high-schoolers especially perceive their acceptance of others based on their popularity on such platforms. There's a scene where Olivia and her friend Izzy (Chloe Bailey) make fun of a teacher in their school for having only six followers on social media - that sums it up!When Olivia suggests the idea of using their dead mutual friend's social media profile to "expose" people in their school, Izzy instantly agrees. The effects are far-reaching, and it soon spirals out of control. Olivia also has hallucinations of Jane (Chloe Yu), the dead mutual friend, who's either giving her the stare - a sort of "do you really want to do this?" look - or being her virtual partner in crime (literally!). The writing gets this aspect right, as the transition from Jane's silent staring to eventually becoming Olivia's virtual accomplice is gradual. Olivia's true colours - her manipulative nature and selfishness - are convincingly portrayed. Izzy plays along until she becomes a victim herself, and Chloe Bailey does a solid job with the character who, unlike Olivia, has a conscience.I think the makers could have used some quirky edits to showcase the social media aspects, and the visual side could have been a little less bland. Also, Madelaine Petsch looks a bit too old to be in high school. Between this and Thoroughbreds, the latter scores higher in my books. Jane makes you also think of the state of mental health of Gen Z-ers, though purely at a surface level. It just wants you to believe that certain kind of trauma responses can turn out to be dangerous and life-altering. The rest is teen-thriller pulp!
