Booksmart
We love women directors! Booksmart is the first behind-the-camera gig for Olivia Wilde, who you might know from "House" or TRON: Legacy, and she definitely hit it out of the park with this one. Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein play best friends who, after being goody-two-shoes to get into Ivy League schools, want to have one crazy night of partying and breaking the rules before college. As an R-rated coming-of-age comedy with a female audience in mind, Booksmart is intelligent, honest, and hilarious. An instant cult classic if I’ve ever seen one. Go see for yourself why it’s the film everyone’s talking about!
