Vivien Dakota

Ask Me What You Want (2024) dives headfirst into the mess of human relationships, all tangled up with secrets and raw honesty most of us run from. At the core, you’ve got Vivien Dakota, who plays a character that’s honestly hard to pin down—one minute she’s charming, the next she’s got you second-guessing everything you thought you knew about her. The story puts her smack in the middle of a web of friends and lovers, each with their own baggage and questionable motives. No one here’s perfect, everyone’s hiding something, and the film doesn’t bother to sugarcoat it. Things unravel through a series of tough conversations and late-night confessions. There’s this weird tension that builds every time someone asks a question they’re not really ready to hear the answer to. It’s awkward, sometimes funny, and sometimes just brutal. The dialogue’s sharp, real—there’s no fluffy, Hollywood chit-chat. Vivien’s character especially, she’s got this way of cutting through all the crap with a single look or a throwaway line that just hits different. What really sticks, though, is how the movie peels back all the social masks. Friendships get messy, romance isn’t pretty, and sometimes the truth just makes everything worse. By the end, you’re left wondering if honesty is all it’s cracked up to be, or if we’re all better off with a few good lies. It’s one of those films that lingers in your head, poking at your own secrets long after the credits roll.
