Midweek Movie Mention: Hope (2022)

​So, I recently took a look at a thriller on Tubi called "Hope." It’s a 2022 flick directed by Bobby Marno, and it clocks in at about 1 hour and 36 minutes.

  positive, and "living your best life" for the followers.

​She decides to head out into the Irish wilderness all by herself to get some fresh content for her channel. But, as we’ve seen in plenty of these "man versus nature" stories, nature doesn't really care about your subscriber count. She takes a nasty fall and ends up with a serious neck and spinal injury that leaves her pinned down and fighting to stay alive in the middle of nowhere.

​It’s an interesting watch because it really pits that "toxic positivity" she’s built her brand on against the cold, hard reality of survival. It’s a slow-burn, mostly focused on her sitting there with her camera, trying not to lose her mind while she waits for a miracle.

​Now, I’ll be honest—there are some parts where the writing feels a bit thin, and you might find yourself wondering why she didn't have a better safety plan before wandering off alone. But if you’re into survival dramas or you want to see a story about the darker side of our social media obsession, it’s worth a play.

​Give it a look if you've got an evening free and let me know if you’d have kept that "positive outlook" as long as she did!
