‘Assassination of a High School President’ Reviews
Assassination of a High School President premiered last night, and a few reviews have come out.
FirstShowing gives the film 9/10 and calls it an "awesome unforgettable film." A comedy with a strong script, it is a "solid gold" film. The story is full of twists, the comedy is constant, and it’s a great balance of mystery of comedy. Great review!
The Hollywood Reporter is not as glowing on the review of the film. They cite a number of other high school movies that it ‘doesn’t live up to.’ That said, Mischa Barton is described to have given a "captivating performance."
But we flip back to another positive review from ComingSoon.net. Assassination of a High School President is described as a "clever high school noir" - a combination of crime noir and the world of high school students. The film is described as having plenty of laughs and has a sharp, smart script with incredibly talented young actors. They give it 8.5/10.
LA Times says the movie is played for laughs, but that once the lights went up, none of the critics had questions about the film. Though engaging, the film has "nothing to say." Mischa is said to have "surprising nude scenes" in this movie that include two bathtub scenes with two different guys.
Assassination of a High School President unlike many indie films at Sundance, already has financing for full distribution in the US.
