LANVIN dress, AETEE DESIGNS earrings, and vintage gloves. Sophia Lillis and Wyatt Oleff IfIfYYoouutthhininkkititisis, They’ve gone from sending DVDs to your parents’ mailbox in the late ‘90s. Then your smartphone screen, and even bedroom. The phrase “Netflix and Chill” has expanded from the Twitterverse and into the Macmillan Dictionary, and now, the studio’s I Am Not Okay With This, a coming-of- age story with a supernatural twist directed by Jonathan Entwistle from End of the F***ing World fame, sees the studio’s contemporary sensibil- ities stretch like Usain Bolt before a 4x4 medley. The latest deliverable from Netflix’s creative prowess, Sophia Lillis and Wyatt Oleff lead the pack, a power-duo who navigate the intricacies of the youthful disposition. Entwistle’s take on Charles Forsman’s graphic novel combines a winning formula of the zeitgeist’s appetite for superheroism, nostalgia, and the queering of entertainment. Flaunt had the pleasure of chatting with the two young actors on their practice, preparation, and prospects. 94
