    • And yet theres something surprisingly compelling about the films unrelenting cynicism, something strangely pure in its sustained tone of acidic, disgusted contempt. ( Read More )
    • Lisa Schwarzbaum

      The movie wants so badly to be mentioned in the same breath as Heathers or Election that its not even funny. Really, I mean it, this charred black comedy is not even funny. ( Read More )
    • Curt Fields

      Had it stuck with being a teen amorality play and just ridden Woods effortless magnetism (which you may recall from the far superior teen angst film Thirteen or TVs Once and Again), Pretty Persuasion might have been more satisfying in spite of its wearyingly smug self awareness. ( Read More )
    • Stephen Hunter

      It doesnt convince at the detail level, and so it feels airless as well as clueless. ( Read More )
    • Nick Schager

      Casts the cruel shenanigans at an upscale 90210 school as a metaphor for virtually everything in contemporary American life. ( Read More )
