Show more >> Do Revenge, directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, is a sharp and entertaining exploration of high school dynamics and the quest for vengeance. The film centres around two girls, Drea and Eleanor, who team up to settle scores against their adversaries. The performances are commendable, particularly Maya Hawke as the unassuming Eleanor, who brings depth to her character's emotional struggles. The film is visually appealing, with a vibrant aesthetic that captures the essence of a modern teen drama. The script is witty and filled with clever one-liners that resonate well with the audience, making it a refreshing addition to the genre. However, while the narrative is engaging, some plot twists feel predictable. Overall, Do Revenge successfully combines humour with a poignant commentary on friendship and betrayal, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of teen comedies. Show less

The premise of a revenge plot set in a posh high school sounds promising, and while it delivers some laugh-out-loud moments, it doesn't quite hit the emotional depths it aims for. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, and their banter is enjoyable, but the film sometimes feels like it's trying too hard to be edgy. It dances around serious themes but doesn’t fully commit, leaving viewers wanting more substance. The direction has a vibrant flair, but the pacing can lag in parts, making the film feel longer than it is. If you’re in the mood for a light-hearted romp with a sprinkle of drama, Do Revenge fits the bill, but don’t expect it to linger in your mind long after the credits roll. Show less
