Influenced

“...hilarious, star-studded — and supremely Jewish.” – Kveller

Australian Premiere

In this sharply funny social media satire, Jill Kargman (Odd Mom Out) plays sassy Upper East Side yenta Dzanielle, a know-it-all influencer with the ultimate goal of reaching one million followers.

Newly divorced and in the midst of bar mitzvah planning chaos, Dzanielle juggles a coterie of faux friends and attends lunch after lunch, desperately clawing her way to social media infamy. But when a chance encounter gives Dzanielle a rare view behind the beauty filter, she’s forced to consider what really matters in a world of fakes.

This fast-talking, New York comedy features an irresistible all-star ensemble including Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, Matt Damon, Justin Bartha and Jason Biggs. Director Rachel Israel and Kargman, who also wrote the script, perfectly skewer the millionaire milieu, for whom obscene wealth, performative philanthropy and transactional clout is the norm, and offer an uproarious and surprisingly redemptive take on the world of social media fame.
