Movie: Pretty Persuasion

Dark, well done version of a not-so-unique story There's nothing new about the story of teenage girls using their power to destroy a teacher with false sexual harassmentt claims. But this movie takes it to new places worth going. It's an extremely dark portrait of a brilliant and driven young woman willing to do anything to get what she wants. The stories of her two cohorts are also worth consideration. The movie is multi-layered and complex, yet holds together solidly with no visible cracks. If you like dark comedies then I highly recommend this movie.
