Millennials have been left mortified after watching a new Netflix movie set in 2003.

The new film which landed on Netflix October 30 stars Outer Banks actor Madison Bailey as Lucy Field, a teenage girl who travels back in time to the early noughties to try and stop her sister from being murdered.

And when she arrives in the past, Lucy has one mission - to save her older sister, Summer.

“My character’s in 2024, living in the shadow of her older sister,” Madison told Tudum.

“Going back and meeting this sister who I’d never met before, I’m seeing this light in her and I’m connecting the dots of my own life.”

The movie is directed by Hannah Macpherson, who takes millennial viewers on a trip down memory lane.

And let's just say they've been left horrified by some of the throwbacks.

In a clip from the movie shared on X, Lucy can be seen walking into her sister's high school where she's met with Heelys, tall UGG boots (we feel seen), flip phones, mp3 players and Walkmans.

And the soundtrack is giving all the noughties vibes too, with Avril Lavigne's 'Complicated' and 'So Yesterday' by Hilary Duff.

But despite the throwbacks, Millennials have been mortified after watching, with many claiming that it's 'not how they remember 2003'. In fact, they're pretty outraged by the whole thing.

Some pointed out that one of the characters in the trailer seems to be holding her Walkman like it's a mobile phone, while others said it was 'more 2008' than 2003.

One person wrote on X: "This doesn't look like 2003, idk how to explain it, but this looks like 2024 pretending to be 2003."

While another said: "I went to high school between 2006-2010 the fashion here is much more relevant to that time."

And a third added: "This looks like what someone born in 2003 thought 2003 looked like."

While a fourth wrote: "2003 was really not like that. You can’t get the vibes with clothes, make up, hair from 2024. That’s really not the same quality we had back then. We were not obsessed with the electronics we had too. People were not with their mp3 in the hand all day."

Others were desperate to see a frosted lip, with another adding: “Not a frosted tip in sight. No goths or punks. No hemp necklaces. No t-shirt over long sleeve tee. Did they not have a single 40yo working on this production?”

Time Cut is out on Netflix now.
