Pretty persuasion - Evan Rachel Wood, Selma Blair, James Woods, Marcos Siega

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

Evil comes in a school uniform.

Described as Election meets Heathers, Evan Rachel Wood plays Kimberly Joyce, an insanely intelligent, wildly funny, shockingly cruel and sexy-beyond-her-years Beverly Hills teenager who will stop at nothing to become famous. Believing the world is an orchestra and she is the conductor, Kimberly masterfully manipulates all those around her. She convinces her two best friends to join her in a campaign against their befuddled teacher, Mr Anderson, played to nebbishy perfection by Ron Livingston. Kimberly entangles the entire Beverly Hills community in her carefully woven web of seduction and deceit. A clever comedy with many turns, Pretty persuasion has an ending that nobody but Kimberly can predict!
