VillageVoice - Described as a "psychotic prom-queen bitch," the anti-heroine of Young Adult is a prize part that affords Charlize Theron one of the season's prize performances—although, to judge from the voting at the New York Film Critics Circle conclave last week, few of my colleagues seem to agree.
Netflix's Boo Bitch drops all the right young adult, coming-of-age bombs irrespective of the weak narrative,
“First Love” tricks you by focusing almost equally on the male lead’s parents as they do on the advertised relationship.
Nicholas Herum of Movies Hates You Too writes:
New Releases for the month of December are a little light; there isn't a high profile film that is going to attract a lot attention, but there is a lovely family film and three films that could interest a lot of adults. On the catalog title front things are little more interesting; if you love 'bad' 80s action, horror, talkative or 'actiony' dramas, or one of TV's most shockingly funny shows there might be a lot things to watch while you try to ignore your family during the holidays. If there are a lot of kids in your household the first waive of Disney animated films to be added to Netflix may keep them busy while you try to get a few minutes of peace.
