Booksmart (2019)

 

 

On the eve of their high school graduation, two academic superstars and best friends realize they should have worked less and played more. Determined not to fall short of their peers, the girls try to cram four years of fun into one night. 

This coming-of-age comedy gives the genre a more imaginative spin and is fast-paced, witty and rather enjoyable, even for a more mature audience. 

Powder Blue (2009)

Four Los Angelenos, a mortician, an ex-con, a suicidal ex-priest, and a stripper, are brought together on Christmas Eve by a mixture of circumstances.

Ambitious, multi-layered drama has atmosphere and is watchable for some good performances, but otherwise unnerves with its pretensions.

The Girl on the Train (2016)

A divorcee becomes entangled in a missing persons investigation that promises to send shockwaves throughout her life.

Well-made psychological thriller has a complex plot, but manages to convey it slowly adding its puzzle parts to the picture.
