This movie was fucking crazy. I had heard of the tweets that this movie Zola was based off of but never read them. I watched this and was shocked that what happened because if my ass was involved it never would have made it past five minutes. This is about this woman named Aziah “Zola” King that is a waitress that strips on the side. One day she meets this woman named Stefani that invites her on a road trip from Detroit to Florida to dance and get paid. This shit goes sideways real quick. The trip itself was too much for my old spirit. The music, the gum chewing, the weird ass boyfriend named Derrek, and X who turns out to be Stefani's pimp. Yeah. He threatens Zola and tries to whore her out but she ends up just teaching Stefani how to make more money for sex. There is a montage of some of the strangest looking mail genitalia. This movie was less than an hour and a half but felt longer. Not sure what could have been cut out considering it was so short but it felt like something was missing. It was based off tweets so how much more could I ask for? It was shot well and looked good but I wouldn't suggest rushing out to find this.
