I LOVED this movie, and I would absolutely watch it again. Say what you will about it, (and me by extension) but I think this is one of Netflix's better 'teen' movies of 2022.
Some of the dialogue is very Gen Z and weird, but it's not meant to be anything but fun, with a little side of snarky dark comedy. And it doesn't hurt that Maya Hawke gets a top billing...I'm currently kind of obsessed with her.
The little twists along the way involving Eleanor (Maya Hawke) are fun to watch and keep you interested. The costuming is just zany enough, and there are a few homages to hits like "Clueless" and others, to give some nostalgia.
"Do Revenge" doesn't strike me as a particularly star-making turn for Camila Mendes, however, which is unfortunate considering I'd like to see more of her range outside of 'high school student' in the future. Oh well.
Maya Hawke, meanwhile, is absolutely magnetic. I can't wait to see what she does next.
