Young Adult

Smart, honest, sickeningly funny and supremely well judged in the writing, direction and acting.

...a sharp, funny and watchable black comedy about those people for whom, to quote the old saying, real life is just high school with money.

...offers compassion for rather than revenge on the “psycho prom queen” who has nothing left in life but a warped mix-tape from an ex who moved on long ago.

Theron and Oswalt both deliver brilliant performances, allowing us to see past their outer appearances and into their inner depths.

Theron har tidligere spillet usympatiske figurer, og det gør hun glimrende her ved at bruge sin kølige udstråling, men under den perfekte make-up gemmer der sig en sårbar sjæl, som Theron også formår at vise frem.
