Booksmart

Olivia Wilde's directorial debut is a brilliant teen comedy for the ages.

Every now and then, a movie comes along that is so of its time that it comes to define its time.

A vertiginous comedy of entanglements, existential anguish, initiation rituals and feminine empowerment. [Full review in Spanish]

"Booksmart" is a genuinely moving story as well.

Booksmart is funny, intelligent, and relevant comedy. It's just what we didn't know we needed. [Full review in Spanish].

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

Booksmart, instead, wraps its main characters in cotton wool. And despite one romantic awakening that's handled well but is best experienced without any forewarning, the script's curve balls lack impact...

In the current moment it feels like an oasis and a hug.

Everything about Booksmart feels alive and exciting and invincible, kinda like how being a teen feels.

While Booksmart may seem like the typical teenager, high school, coming of age story, there is so much underneath the surface that anyone who watches it can take something away from the film.
