The story, the players, and the two leads are all endearing in the very best of ways -- warm, funny, charming and bloody lovely. January 29, 2020 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

I really liked Beanie Feldstein in Ladybird, and she is matched in this film by Kaitlyn Dever. The characters they play, and the other characters they interact with in the film are what make this an exceptional film. January 17, 2020 | Rating: A | Full Review…

Booksmart is feminist, foul-mouthed and funny, turning the formulaic tropes of bawdy comedies inside out and giving us a couple of teen heroines who feel real and very 2019. December 30, 2019 | Full Review…

It felt decidedly new, from the pair of friends at the centre of the story to the celebration of female intelligence, ambition and loyalty. December 27, 2019 | Full Review…

As for the film's own balance between conscientious goals and living for kicks, it's neatly done. The depiction of the pair's friendship is believable and good-spirited in a way that recalls Lady Bird... December 16, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Booksmart already stands as the best comedy of summer. It'll be interesting to see if anything can remotely come close to dethroning it. December 16, 2019 | Full Review…

This fun, fast-moving film is a directorial debut for Olivia Wilde, who helped polish a script kicking around for a decade-one written by four women, not to the detriment of its general cohesion and frequent hilarity. December 16, 2019 | Full Review…
