Mila Kunis details the 'logical' approach taken to understand her complicated character in her new movie, ‘Luckiest Girl Alive.’
. ET's Nischelle Turner spoke with Kunis ahead of the Netflix thriller's premiere, where she shared how she"reverse engineered" the role before letting the emotions of the film take over.
In the film, Mila plays TifAni"Ani" FaNelli, a New York woman who appears to have it all, from the sought-after job at a glossy magazine to the dream Nantucket wedding. But all of that is threatened when a crime documentary director interviews her about a school shooting that took place at her prestigious high school when she was a teenager. As a result, Ani is forced to confront the truth about what actually happened.
That's not the only trauma the film tackles. Ani deals with a harrowing past littered with shocking incidents that include not just the school shooting, but sexual assault, fractured family and bullying that was almost too much to bear -- incidents that made Kunis reflect on her own teenage years. ET also spoke with Chiara Aurelia, who plays the teenage version of Ani, about why it was important for both her and Kunis to take on this role.
