Naomi Foner’s Very Good Girls is a simple tale about two best friends fresh out of high school having their friendship challenged for the first time over the love of a boy. It’s certainly not an uncommon plot, but writer/director Foner is able to coax two strong performances out of Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen to bring the characters of Lilly and Gerry to life. Unfortunately, Very Good Girls suffers from some questionable choices as the film wears on and the object of the girls’ affection, a tool-cool-for-school Sylvia Plath-quoting artist named David (a stiff and utterly boring Boyd Holbrook), is so devoid of personality and so ripe with clichés that the girls falling for him in the first place is groan inducing.
