Jane (2022)



Released August 26th in the US.
Filmed entirely in New Mexico.
The story: Olivia is a high school senior who has recently lost her best friend.
This is quite a depressing time for Olivia. It isn't helping that she is stuck on getting accepted to Stanford and is being put off.
Olivia is on the debate team and feels she is at the top of her game, nothing could make her any better at it.
When a new girl arrives at school and is on Olivia's debate team, she threatens Olivia's perfect performance by being seemingly better than her and very competitive with her.
Olivia reaches out to her old best friend Izzy for some advice on the area.
The two come up with the idea to use their deceased friends' social media account to message the girl who is competing with Olivia, to teach her a lesson.
When it works to Olivia's advantage and the new girl transfers, it becomes easier and easier to use the social media account to expose people who she feels have wronged her.
But when Olivia starts not caring about hurting people to get ahead, she accomplishes the ultimate deed to get her way.
