I tried to write a review, but I can't.
All that's running through my head is "Dear Diary: My teen angst bullshit has a body count."
I really wish I could rewind time and watch this as my high school self.

Looking back at a lot of high school set comedies, I’m finding it hard to think of any movie that I can even compare to Heathers.
Obviously starting in the ‘80s looking for possible contemporaries, John Hughes immediately comes to mind. Nope, that doesn’t work. Heathers is infinitely darker, more mature, and is in no way shape or form even close to John Hughes movie. If you go in looking for something along those lines you will be sorely disappointed. Okay, so that doesn’t really fit. What about heading into the ‘90s? With the rise of raunchier teen sex comedies, surely Heathers fits into those circles. Nope, wrong. Heathers is far more complex and probably raunchier than those films dream…

Winona Ryder and her fucking monocle kills me every time.
Review by ciara ★★★★★

the lesbian energy that radiates from the moment when veronica says “heather, my love, there’s a new sheriff in town” and kisses her on the cheek is SO powerful that’s how i’m tryna be

I can confirm that in Ohio, the staple drink of every heterosexual is beer and every gay person exclusively drinks mineral water.

Dear Diary: My teen angst bullshit now has a body count.
I was expecting lots of things from this film and I probably only got 0,1% of them! not that it is in any way a bad thing...
Review by Aneela ★★★★

Loved this. Ryder and Slater are great. Deftly melds pitch black comedy with social commentary - razor sharp script. Insanely quotable. Easily one of the best teen movies I’ve seen.
Review by Karina ★★★★

"All we want is to be treated like human beings, not to be experimented on like guinea pigs or patronized like bunny rabbits."

sorry winona but this was some terrible experience
Review by Ray Downs

The poster for this movie really doesn't do it justice. I've missed it all this time just because there's no knife or gun on the poster.
