Very average girls

Very Good Girls (2014)

Written and directed by Naomi Foner this film stars Dakota Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen, Boyd Holbrook and Ellen Barkin. Two 18 year old girls vow to lose their virginities during the summer before college and pine for the same guy.

The plot of this film covers a lot of the usual coming of age ground and features many of the set pieces you expect from a love triangle plot. While the film has a nice slow feel to it unfortunately it has a few really bum notes that just stink of cliché and drag down an otherwise well made effort. Probably the best thing about this film is the great supporting cast but we see far too little of them.


2/5
