I was hoping for more from this film. Jenna Ortega did a fantastic job, and I liked the final shot, but overall it felt like it was hitting all the usual teen movie clichés. We’ve seen the main character, Veda, using drugs to cope, making out with everyone she’s involved with, and having a cheesy scene where she screams at a hill. It felt like something we’d seen many times before. Maybe if A24 had made it, it would have felt more authentic and less like an after-school special. What do you think?
Jenna Ortega was great, and that final shot was cool, but yeah, the movie did feel a bit like a teen flick déjà vu. The drug use, the make-out scenes, and the hill-screaming scene—it’s like we’ve been there, done that. It’d be awesome if A24 had put their spin on it for a fresh twist. What’s your take?
