Review of Booksmart (2019) by Mick Lasalle for San Francisco Chronicle — 20 May 2019
You know what movie is even better than this? “Never Goin’ Back” (2018) from writer-director Augustine Frizzell, about two 17-year-old girls trying to raise money for a weekend getaway. It’s something like Booksmart, minus the rich Californians and the faint whiff of politically correct self-congratulation.
Unfortunately, no one saw “Never Goin’ Back,” because it’s about working-class girls in Texas.
