I Am Not Okay with This

Synopsis

Sydney Novak (Sophia Lillis) is the ordinary high school student from a small American town. She rails against her mother, fights with her best friend’s boyfriend, pops zits and tries dealing with her libido. Someday something supernatural wakes up in this girl. Sydney realizes that she can move objects. At first she thinks that this is an awkward age; but then she discovers that her father, having committed suicide, could also have done so.

Attempts to understand what is happening to her lead to bloody consequences.
