Review of Pretty Persuasion (2005) by Jeff S — 06 May 2012
At first I felt this film was a falling flat and the jokes weren't particularly landing well but in the end I was thoroughly charmed by this sadistic little indie movie and most of that is due to a devastatingly charismatic performance from Evan Rachel Wood who not only seems to delight in the naughtiness of her role but is also so good at flippant cynicism that as rude or as immoral as her character gets you find it impossible to hate her.
"Pretty Persuasion" has flaws but if you enjoy scathing black comedies and cult teen movies such as "Heathers," "Election," "Cruel Intentions" or "Drop Dead Gorgeous" then I guarantee you will be a fan of this one too.
