Overview

Tragedy Girls is a 2017 horror-comedy about two teenage girls who manufacture real murders to fuel their true-crime social media brand. The film is fundamentally a satire of fame culture and online performance, which keeps it politically untethered. Family structures are peripheral or dysfunctional, parental authority barely registers, and the protagonists' intense co-dependent friendship drives everything. One lead is casually gay, presented without drama or commentary. The cast is racially diverse without the film making any point of it. Because the satirical target is cultural obsession with clout rather than any ideological cause, the signals roughly cancel out, leaving the label where it belongs: Neutral.
