Booksmart

...witty, raucous, perfectly played and eventually packs an emotional wallop.

It's raunchy and kind of gross at times, but there is such heart, sweetness, and honesty about high school.

First, the good news: it's immediately clear that Wilde is a filmmaker by vocation... If anything, the film is polished to a fault: the marketing term "elevated genre," most frequently applied to horror, feels equally apt here.

It's more John Hughes than Judd Apatow, and it's a little more Bridesmaids than Lady Bird...a success on [its] own terms...

Booksmart puts a fresh spin on the coming-of-age night-of comedy because it's focused on two girls, one of whom is also queer.

A solid debut for Wilde, but really puts Dever and Feldstein on the map.

A poem to friendship and a celebration of the new generations. [Full review in Spanish]

It feels fresh and original, mostly because it does well the postmodern trick of mixing and matching old forms.

Olivia Wilde and company take something we've seen before, adjust the perspective just enough to make it fresh, and with sharp focus and fabulous leads, deliver a new high school classic.

Booksmart is a sharp, hilarious and, as it progresses, very touching coming-of-age film.
