Review of Honor Society (2022) by Jluis_001 — 01 Aug 2022

Personally I think the greatest merit of Honor Society is that it allows Angourie Rice to carry her first leading role in its entirety, and above all to explore it properly.

The film belongs to her entirely. There are more characters in the story, but these are just pieces on the board to move the game forward. Her game. Certainly there's nothing innovative about her character, not in her personality, not in her ambition, and certainly not in her motivations.

Also, the constant breaking of the fourth wall becomes exhaustive, but Rice succeeds in bringing the film to life because she manages to give it cohesion and consistency.

It's she who keeps the whole thing from becoming boring even if the experience only matters up to the minute it ends, but after all, that's 100% its purpose.
