Heathers

I have this movie memorized at this point, in case you even care. Even though I’ve seen this movie a billion times, I notice something new during every rewatch. This time, it struck me how even though this film has the kind of uber 80s aesthetic that makes it feel like a period piece from years later, the acerbic, detached tone is decidedly 90s. The self awareness makes it both of and ahead of its time.  In some ways, we still haven’t caught up with it.
