Different, but I actually liked it. <em>'Zola'</em> takes a few scenes to get into it and to get used to the stylistic choices, namely with the editing and dialogue, though by the end I did in fact enjoy this film. It's a bonkers story, one that I semi heard about when it became known that a film was going to be made based on a thread of tweets. It's probably much better than it was any right to be in truth, all things considered, but the filmmakers made it work and deserve credit for that - and also for the astutely chosen short run time, too. The acting talent bring noteworthy performances, with particularly Taylour Paige and also Riley Keough putting in the work. Colman Domingo is also good - I already like that guy from TV's <em>'<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_the_Walking_Dead" rel="nofollow">Fear the Walking Dead</a>'</em>, so it's always a pleasure to see him act elsewhere. Recommended.
