Is the ‘Karen’ Movie on Netflix? Where to Watch the Taryn Manning Thriller

Karen, aka “the racist neighbor” movie, feels like it was inevitable. Three years ago, the name Karen became something of a meme—code for a racist white woman who harasses Black men birding in Central Park and demands to speak to the manager when her coffee order is wrong. Most of the women dubbed “a Karen” weren’t actually named Karen, but it didn’t matter. Karen was no longer a name; it was a personality. And Hollywood wasted no time jumping on the trend.

The 2021 Karen movie was written and directed by Coke Daniels. It stars former Orange Is the New Black actor Taryn Manning as a woman named yes, Karen, who is blatantly racist toward her new Black next-door neighbors, Malik and Imani Jeffries (played by Cory Hardrict and Jasmine Burke). But what starts as annoying “Karen” microaggressions soon escalates to full-on, violent aggression.

The movie was panned by critics and even earned five nominations at the infamous Golden Raspberry Awards. But bad reviews aren’t going to stop some viewers. Read on to find out where to watch the Karen movie online.
