Do Revenge Reviews
The highest compliment one can pay Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s viciously delectable “Do Revenge” is that it should stand alongside the many iconic teen flicks it both cribs from and pays homage to.

If you love that era of teen movies – and easter eggs pointing to them – as much as Jennifer Kaytin Robinson does, Do Revenge can be intoxicatingly fun.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 24, 2022
This 118-minute movie is a tad long but is well-scripted and strongly acted, with Maya Hawke, the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, especially good.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2022
There’s an edge to Do Revenge that draws just enough blood to match its infectious style and repartee.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 21, 2022
As if born out of obsessive rewatches of Cruel Intentions and Mean Girls, Do Revenge is a subversive, foul-mouthed teen comedy that goes to some pretty vile and depraved places.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 18, 2022
Virtually all of the so-called teens look like they should be getting ready for their 10-year reunion rather than senior year.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 16, 2022
Teenagers are reading the same panic-inducing headlines as everyone else. If they want to do a little revenge on a world that seems hell bent on driving humanity off a cliff, Do Revenge offers some clever entertainment for the ride.
| Original Score: B+ | Sep 16, 2022
This is a movie that knows the buttons it's pushing, and it mashes them hard... In short, "Revenge" is sweet.
| Original Score: B | Sep 16, 2022
The movie offers a terrific playground for Mendes and Hawke to mess around in as these gleefully flawed, cartoonish and yet ultimately dimensional characters.
| Sep 16, 2022
For a movie where the characters speak often about their Ivy League aspirations, creatively speaking it lands more in the safety-school category.

The movie’s bright colors and trappings of wealth offer some nice eye candy. More importantly, Mendes and Hawke bring a lot of depth and pathos to these characters...

Do Revenge wears its love of '90s teen movies on its sleeve. How well it fares by comparison, however, might be determined by your level of nostalgia, or how much tolerance you have for plots centered on Instagram.
| Original Score: 6.1/10 | Sep 16, 2022
A playful, sharp-fanged satire that feels like the ’90s teen comedy hammered into modern emojis: crown, knife, fire, winky face.
| Original Score: B | Sep 16, 2022
The film manages to blend all of its influences into a distinctive movie that is fully committed to its vision of high school as a handsomely costumed, art-directed snake pit filled with sadists who get off on other people's pain and embarrassment.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 16, 2022
Do Revenge is surely the most shameless attempt yet to plug into nostalgia for Heathers, Cruel Intentions and other staples of the genre.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 16, 2022
Do Revenge offers enough refreshing zaps to actually leave a mark.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 16, 2022
A clever mishmash of Hitchcockian and 1980s and ’90s high school movie sensibilities, the Netflix dark comedy “Do Revenge” falters when it tries to grow a heart.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 16, 2022
Overall its bright, spirited attitude and attractive, propulsive gusto power a delightfully wicked journey.
| Original Score: B- | Sep 16, 2022
