"Do Revenge works best when Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke are at the center of the screen, delivering scene-stealing performances with their charming chemistry and witty interactions.

A satire with (too?) many twists on the high-school drama - minor nitpick, but the cast is way too old to portray teenagers - that manages to reach surprisingly efficient entertainment levels during practically the entire runtime. Even so, some over-the-top narrative embellishments and the screenplay's predictability contain the film within the usual formulas, despite the colorful aesthetics deserving a lot of praise.

Solid effort."

Rating: B-
