This movie is hilarious
And its moral story is a quiet series problem of the modern life, Drama Queen Psychopaths.
And this movie displays this sickness so simple, yet so so complex.
It is a tragedy, yet it is a comedy.
It is so dry, yet it is so fleshed.
It is so raw, yet it is so elegant.
The plot shows the drama queen, Kimberley, operating on a an environment where all little poor hypocrites are under affection of her.
Movie shows how everyone else has a share of hypocrisy, pumping up the dramas of the Queens.
And Kimberly knows this, and uses this. That is where her "superiority" over others lies.
She knows she has the upper hand.
While everyone else is busy with their own petty concerns, devil is busy to prepare her drama based on these petty concerns.
Every little scene, every actor, every acting is prepared with no mistake, and to the point.
Casting was great. Everyone performed well.
James Woods at dinner scene, Ron Livingston at dinner scene with his wife, Jane Krakowski at news reporting scenes are all wonderful.
Take Robert Joy at the court scene. He is so amazing, by just saying nothing.
And Evan Rachel Wood (Kimberly) is just wonderful.
She is not acting this drama queen, she knows her by heart ( she must have been either exposed to drama queens to much, or herself is one )

I freakin’ love this film!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2022Verified Purchase
While comparisons with Heathers are inevitable with any film about teenage girls, this one is most definitely better and, unlike Heathers, this one continues to age beautifully! I don’t want to give anything away, because the twists make this film! I will say that this is Evan Rachel Wood at her finest…like Westworld finest! The rest of the cast are stellar: Ron Livingston, Jane Krakowski and Selma Blair are phenomenal! James Woods is at peak James Woods…though I’m not 100% sure there is much actual acting, beyond remembering lines, going on here…his social media presence def suggests this!!!! Just sit back, relax and count yourself v lucky you’re not in high school anymore!!!!

"American schools are so tough...." [Kimberly]
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2015Verified Purchase
This 2005 film is a drama/satire/revenge movie set in a wealthy Beverley Hills High School where Kimberly Joyce (Evan Rachel Wood) and her best friend Brittany (Elisabeth Harnois) take Randa (Adi Schnall), a new Arabic student who recently arrived from the Middle East, under their wing.
The movie is very similar in style and plot to Wild Things [1998] as Kimberly sucks the others into her schemes but has the bitchiness and backstabbing of Cruel Intentions [1999], and also sees the fantastic Selma Blair in a support role. Some of the dark humour and the occasional surreal scene style also incorporates elements that would not be amiss in Twin Peaks [1990].
The film has no special features other than a trailer and scene selection and uses a few plot twists and flashbacks to tell its story. The film is quite flowing and carries along at a good pace but despite the excellent acting [especially Evan Rachel Wood] it never manages to quite terrorise or enthral as the above mentioned films did. This is not a comedy, but does have many tongue in cheek moments, much being sexually based as American Pie or using inappropriate comments. A definite **** rating, only marginally missing out on a 5.

Not your typical high school movie
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2016Verified Purchase
Pretty Persuasion is a film that will not be to everyone's tastes, it is a story with a very dark thread running through it, ideal for those with a sick sense of humour. The story is about a group of teen girls who decide to accuse their teacher of sexual harassment, and what happens to them as the case progresses. It doesn't sound funny at all but there are some laugh out loud moments for those with the right sort of sense of humour. Others will likely hate this film but I for one think it is great. Tragic and comic at once, and an interesting morality tale. Certainly not your typical high school movie.
