Major plot twists, primal screams, and witty dialogue will keep you on your toes throughout 'Do Revenge,' starring Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes. Our review:
Has anyone ever wronged you? Odds are, if you asked anyone this question, the answer would be a resounding “yes.” Maybe you’ve even had unnecessarily detailed fantasies about how you would get revenge on the wrong-doer. But actually going through with revenge requires a significant amount of mental gymnastics and would most likely be very problematic.
She’s surrounded by her so-called friends and allegedly loyal boyfriend, Max , the most popular and revered person at their uber-wealthy, picturesque, and snobby private school. As Drea so brilliantly puts it in one of her narrations: “Rosehill is an orchestra and Max is its conductor.” He selfishly asks Drea to make a sexy video for him to reference at his leisure while she's busy working tennis camp. Drea complies, but Max then leaks it to the entire school.
At the same time, Mendes isn’t afraid to pull back the curtain on the ugly reality that comes with being perceived as “perfect.” In a particularly emotional moment, a teary Drea tells Eleanor, “Sometimes, it just hurts to exist, you know?” Similarly, Hawke’s grounded performance as the outed outcast is multidimensional and nuanced.
On one level, the film is also a self-aware satire, as it playfully skewers the potentially over-the-top wokeness on campuses and the hypocritical peacocking that comes when out-of-touch people try too hard to be an “ally.” Instead of putting in the work and genuinely wanting to be a force for change, many of the characters wear the "ally" badge to simply reap the rewards that come with it.
