Very Good Girls (2014 Naomi Foner & scr)

One of those films when you shout at the screen "Just tell her!" like one of those deluded fools on Gogglebox. Does, though, have genuine moments where you know a woman has directed the film - and so much the better for that.

Dakota Fanning is rather good by doing very little, and that's Elizabeth Olsen as her friend. Clark Gregg as the father smiles too much (it's rather off-putting) and Ellen Barkin is her mother. Mad Men's Kiernan Shipka doesn't have much of a part; neither does Richard Dreyfuss, though it's always nice to see him.
