    Very Good Girls

    Reviewed by

    Very Good Girls (on DVD 2014) was obviously an under-rated film as, it seems, no one saw it, but don't let that fool you. This more than coming of age film, a friendship between two best girl friends has its many, many ups, but then is severely tested when a young man slips into the picture. What makes the film so good is that everything in it smacks of reality, nothing phony at all. Family relationships, the 2 young ladies who desperately want to become women (in every way), Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen, the parents with their own set of problems portrayed by Ellen Barkin, Demi Moore and Richard Dreyfus, are convincingly great. Very Good Girls doesn't sugar coat anything: the fact that we all lie, make all sorts of idiotic errors, it all points out how human we are with every foible that comes along with our humanity. In the end this simple story works well because the performances are awesome, especially from Dakota and Elizabeth. So important, in life as well as every aspect of media, form books, to film, theatre, you name it, the theme of forgiveness is present in Very Good Girls but it never hammers one over the head. It just is not a preachy movie. That's why I liked it so much! I'm sorry more people didn't take an interest in this little gem. Have no clue if GIRLS was a money maker, but the fact that only one review is posted is indicative of how few must have seen it. Beats me how such a wonderful film just gets lost in 'FILMDOM.' (my own word)
