MyMovieTVRomance - 14 May 2024 Not just a revenge movie - but better! One of the best movies of its type I've ever seen! And I loved that it was inspired by the Patricia Highsmith story "Strangers on a Train" which gives this movie an air of sophisticated allure that it wouldn't otherwise have.
This is like "Clueless" meets "Mean Girls" meets "Heathers"- but with more heart. This movie sees the humanity and everyone, so that even the bad guys are sympathetic, because we are made to understand everyone so well. Everybody is so well thought out in this film. It doesn't come from a mean place, but from a place of frustration and vengeance, but not heartlessness. There's a lot of forgiveness here that I love.
Other praiseworthy notes of this film are the song selections included throughout, which are fantastic for every riot grrrrl fan, and every fan of Pop music. Also, the set design, the locations, the color palette, I'll make this film like a delectable piece of candy!
I also absolutely love the occasional voiceovers, and the cast. I'm a big fan of Maya Hawk, who has become an absolute favorite of mine. She reminds me of another Liza Minnelli. There's just something very Liza about her, and it makes her very adorable to me. I hope she gets to Star and co-star and many more films in the future!
Also, it's got one of the best closing sequences put to screen, and superb title cards.
It's truly one of the best films of its kind, ever made!
ishanbheda - 16 December 2023 The ending was ridiculous The plot twist was very good and unexpected. However, at the end there was no consequences for the characters? In the movie they basically showed that they are both psychopaths and hate each other but at the end they end up being friends again. In no realistic scenario would they be friends again after the crazy stuff they do to eachother. Also, they commit crimes such as drugging the whole school and yet get the people they wanted as well as face no jail time? The only person that faces consequences was the male character even though I would argue that the two main characters and him are all psychopaths. The movie would have been much better if they had all gone to prison or something and lost everything.
