“Tengo sentimientos encontrados.

Empezar por algo muy personal

Es como que se agarraron musicalmente lo más cliché y aburrido posible. Mejor haber metido rolas buenas de la época.

Gustos aparte, Heathers es un trampantojo.

De una película escolar con un humor sorprendemente oscuro y una trama hiper estereotipada te va metiendo en un drama que no termina de satirizar mucho los suicidios en institutos americanos y la repercusión social que representan.

Por escenas de sátira se siente hasta surreal.

Las partes en las que las Heathers juegan al criket es de lo más absurdo e irreal del mundo. Y ahí está el punto.

De primeras y hasta la mitad la cinta no se toma nada en serio tragedias como lo son suicidios o asesinato” read more
