My overall impression

This real-life fairy tale celebrates all of the very worst humiliations a suburban dystopia has to offer a young anti-heroine. With clever direction by JJ Mayes and well-balanced performances across the entire ensemble, Jaime Andrews as the cute but committable Cookie leads a rag tag cast of high octane utility players through the maze of school reputation angst, drug-fueled “decision” making, and almost relationships with so-called friends. It was hysterically painful and laughably bleak and I loved every minute of it.
