Taryn Does Karen

Embarrassingly cringy effort to tackle important issues and the viral phenomenon of the Karen is seemingly a parody of itself.

Whether viewing this movie from the perspective of personal experience, social awareness, curiosity, or entertainment, you are unlikely to come away with anything but a missing hour and a half of your life.

Playing like a patchwork of high school level social essay and low rent exploitation, its only strength is Taryn Manning doing her utmost to bring her poorly written character to life.
