Unfortunately, the film fell short of my expectations. Many critics and reviewers have made comparisons to films such as 'Heathers', 'American Psycho', 'Heavenly Creatures', etc., and while their influence is definitely felt in this film, the overall premise and ideas in this film weren't taken full advantage of or expanded upon near enough in my opinion. On top of that, even the ending left me underwhelmed and disappointed. The only real positives that I can think of were the acting of course (Olivia Cooke, Anya Taylor-Joy and Anton Yelchin all turned in great performances as expected), as well as some of the creepy background soundtrack that fit rather nicely with the film's tone, as well as some of the cinematography/tracking shots that really were intriguing to watch. Overall, it's not without some of its unique and intriguing aspects, but for me, they weren't quite enough to make the rest of the film feel totally worthwhile for me.… Expand

Although he's good as usual (and dark, which is a bit of a departure) he only has a supporting role. The story revolves around 2 mean teens, disaffected girlfriends who decide the kill someone. However, the dialogue is super-slow and crammed with extended pauses. There's certainly a dark touch pervading every moment, but it fails to engender much empathy or suspense. I found the whole thing dreadfully dull, wishing for snappy dialogue or a story surprise. (It was, appropriately, dedicated to Yelchin.)… Expand

the premise for this dark comedy, while not new, seems appealling, but ultimately it falls flat
