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.

An astonishing coming-of-age story that hardly goes by the books and honestly, it's hard to believe that this is Olivia Wilde's directing debut.

Olivia Wilde is a tour-de-force of filmmaking.

Olivia Wilde directs the teen actresses with flair in a somewhat overhyped coming-of-age flick that falls short of recent gems like "Eighth Grade" and "Lady Bird."

A wonderful celebration of not just female friendship, but of a generation that's smart, cool and open to progression and inclusivity.
