Anna S Live laugh love Heather's. It's exciting and terrifying at the same time. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review David D Such a great movie. From an era where story and characters drove viewing experiences. Loved every moment of this up to an including the Blakes 7esque ending. Magnificent. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Wayne K If The Breakfast Club was the upbeat and optimistic looks at high school cliques and their function in a young person’s life, then Heathers is the opposite, much darker side of the coin. The screenwriter himself has stated his intention was to counterpoint the positive representation of American high school life, and the film really goes all in on the dark and disturbing satire. Violent and disturbing events are presented with a bizarre flippancy that belies how shocking they would be in real life, but nothing feels too far out of the realm of reality to truly strain believability. Clique infighting, death threats, horrible bullying, jealousy, spite and the never ending quest to achieve popularity, whatever that means or entails, are facts of life for a majority of high school students. If nothing else, it demonstrates how meaningless it is to be popular in high school, since no one can possibly be liked by everyone, and we see how even those who are hailed as the most beloved are actually the most heated. I feel like the film wasn’t really sure how to end, and starts to sputter when the finale is meant to be wrapping up. Also, it’s the kind of story which will resonate much more strongly in American than anywhere else, where the kind of tropes being parodied are most notable. It might come across as forced or artificial to some, but I enjoyed it for its dark comedy, its interesting characters and its unashamed criticism of the high school system. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Aydan A do people just like this movie because it's from the 80's? literally WHAT did this movie do to earn it's place among other cult classics that were actually done well??? i thought the acting was incredibly average... the characters had such out of place reactions to things and the whole movie felt like a fever dream in a bad way. it was so dull. i would go see the musical version of this but would never willingly watch the movie again. (sorry heathers fanatics, i get it but i don't!!!) Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Jay H I was 16 when this was released. Everybody in the school watched it at one point or another; most of us loved it, but there were a few who didn't. Those people were exactly like the popular kids in the movie; I guess they weren't fond of how they were portrayed. The truth hurts.
