Clara B A very good dark comedy subversion of the typical 80s highschool movies. While the problems in those stories seemed like life and death to the "teenage" characters, in this movie it decides to really make it so. (Early-Spoilers) In the first act of the movie, the leader of the titular "Heathers," Heather, is accidentally killed by Winona Ryder's Veronica after some bad advice and slide-of-hand of her situationship, Christian Slater's JD. From there, the movie follows Veronica dealing with the situation, and the spiralling fallout of her and JD's actions, with all the attitudes of an angsty teen. While Slater gives a somewhat weaker performance, the acting by the rest of the cast is excellently done. Slater and Ryder have great onscreen chemistry, even as their relationship evolves and changes over the course of the film. Because the movie kills off one of the titular characters in the first third of the movie, it subverts many of the expectations an audience might have had watching a teenage 80s movie, so the audience never knows what's going to happen next. It takes this opportunity and runs with it, letting the darker comedy shine through even brighter. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Carlos I "Heathers" stands out as a stinging social satire that cleverly dissects the brutal dynamics of high school hierarchies with dark humor and cutting wit. Its dream-like qualities, from the surreal dialogue to the vividly stylized aesthetics, create an unsettling yet captivating atmosphere that draws viewers into its twisted world. These elements not only critique the societal pressures of adolescence but also establish it as a unique cult favorite that resonates with audiences long after the credits roll.

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Az S Heathers is one of the best dark comedy movies ever. Winona Ryder & Christian Slater kill it, Literally. But the whole cast is great, the writing is great if you love dark, biting, satire. It's commentary on bullying, homophobia & how fake people can be is still just as relevant now as it was then. A timeless classic.
