Olivia Wilde's directorial debut detonates the standard high school graduation blueprint with electric rhythm and sharp visual flair. Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever are sensational as academic overachievers who realize on the eve of commencement that their single-minded discipline blinded them to the messy thrills of youth, triggering an all-night quest to compress four years of missed debauchery into twelve frantic hours. Wilde shoots the antics with cinematic swagger rather than flat sitcom lighting. The film shares DNA with the Kappa Nu rebels from Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, ditching tired gross-out cliches in favor of razor-sharp female solidarity and boundary-pushing party escapades.
