Best of the Best
51Watch it awake.
The practice is the good. The rivalry, the drinking, and the sex talk are the tax. Watch it with her, not as a sleepover.
The review
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan's Maya and her oldest friend join the team that was supposed to prove they still belong to each other. Lena Khan's picture is about work: rehearsal, a captain, a routine that does not care about your history. Then it is about a campus, which means the other curriculum — drinks, a smoke, talk that treats sex as the way you rank people.
A thirteen-year-old will call it a dance movie. Sit in the room. When the friendship cracks, ask which of them told the truth and which of them performed it. Leave if the party becomes the point.

Keep Best of the Best in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety and Republic and Temperance are the thin ones.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Everything Everywhere All at Once
63 instead of 51
Everything Everywhere All at Once is still a comedy film, and it scores 63 instead of 51. What you gain is stewardship: What she keeps is the ordinary life.
The eight
- 8Industry
A dance team is hours. The film respects the hours.
- 6Household
A childhood friendship is the real plot. Families stay mostly offstage.
- 3Piety
No reverence. The body is the altar.
- 6Courage
They try out in public, which costs them the old ease.
- 4Republic
A campus, not a town. Status is the government.
- 3Temperance
PG-13: drinking, smoking, sexual talk. It is not coy about them.
- 6Truth
It admits a friendship can want the same prize and tell itself a lie.
- 5Stewardship
A craft you can hand on. A party you should not.
