About
You’ll like Heathers if you enjoy biting, dark teen satire and don’t mind uncomfortable humor; Not for you if you’re looking for a straightforward teen drama or if black comedies like Welcome to the Dollhouse or River’s Edge aren’t your taste.
Pros: sharp dark satire; memorable cult status; bold teen critique | Cons: uneven tone; uneasy subject matter; abrasive execution
