I love Winona Ryder. After that whole Mr. Deeds/shoplifting one-two fiascos she went missing. Pity since her smart-but-slacker quirky girl vibe always intrigued me. Here I am convinced that she is just playing a variation of herself. But it works like gangbusters. She’s funny, dark and appropriately complicated. Heathers was her big coming out party.

By now everyone should know th... read more

I'm going to make this review short. I adore this film. It's so funny and suprisingly violent. A young Winona Ryder and a young Christian Slater make the cutest pair.

The best part about this film is the entire thing is about these snoody prep kids, and watching this film is like bringing to life what I always secretly wished I could do to these types of kids in high school. (of co... read more

" A regular girl, Veronica, tries to survive the social jungle of high school by sticking with the three most popular girls at school who are all called Heather. As she meets a sociopath named JD, her life spirals into a continuous cycle of hate, unintentional murder and indifference, as she exacts revenge on her enemies, also known as her best friends. Waters wrote Heathers as a spec script and originally wanted Stanley Kubrick to direct the film, out of admiration for Kubrick's own black co"

“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
