This stylishly bouncy teenage romp mostly reaps the rewards of its fearless gambles, not least its willingness to treat teenagers as in-progress humans with a dark side.

The ending chorus of conclusions wraps up a bit too neatly, though that doesn’t invalidate the enjoyably deranged ride before.

A story told a thousand times achieves to fell fresh and fun. Angourie Rice is just fantastic! This “modern” version of a coming of age flick shows that you can touch “woke” themes without being arrogant about it. If you are going to be woke, at least, do it right. Really, it’s a great movie in the genre. 100% recommended.

Ultimately, The Honor Society feels like a small-scale charm offensive featuring some genuinely engaging characters. If the worst thing audiences can say is that it feels derivative and shows too much love for John Hughes, then so be it. In the end, there may be few surprises on offer in this teen dramedy, but it is still guaranteed to make you smile.

Ms. Rice (“Mare of Easttown”) is the main attraction, and a revelation; her direct address of the camera grows less frequent as present-tense time catches up with her schemes, but she remains magnetic throughout.

Honor Society never gets a handle on its comedic bona fides, but its faux-irreverent tone does allow for a satisfying con-style turn as Honor struggles to keep her new maybe-fake friends under her control.

A twist whipsaws the movie into a darker place, one in the vicinity of Patricia Highsmith. But no murder takes place, and the movie’s resolution confirms what one may have suspected all along: Its dominant room tone is kinda-sorta that of “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.”

Shame this is being overlooked as it's a really fun High School movie in the vein of Clueless and Election. Yes, it's a blend of familiar elements but there's a real beating heart in there and a darker edge than you might expect. The chief attraction, though, is Angourie Rice, who carries the film effortlessly. In her first test for major ****, she passes with flying colours.

A classic enemies-to-lovers trope come to life in this film. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, honestly. Gaten Matarazzo and Angourie Rice were great. Some delightful elements pieced in there.

Personally I think the greatest merit of Honor Society is that it allows Angourie Rice to carry her first leading role in its entirety, and above all to explore it properly.
The film belongs to her entirely. There are more characters in the story, but these are just pieces on the board to move the game forward. Her game. Certainly there's nothing innovative about her character, not in her personality, not in her ambition, and certainly not in her motivations.
Also, the constant breaking of the fourth wall becomes exhaustive, but Rice succeeds in bringing the film to life because she manages to give it cohesion and consistency.
It's she who keeps the whole thing from becoming boring even if the experience only matters up to the minute it ends, but after all, that's 100% its purpose.

Wow what a disgustingly WOKE, nonsense movie. The main character is by far the most arrogant, vapid twit I have seen on screen in many years. Complete waste of 2 hrs. Truly horrible!!
