Oscar-nominated
screenwriter Naomi Foner (1988 for Running on Empty) takes her first
turn behind the camera (directing her own script) on Sept. 23 when Well Go
U.S.A. brings to market DVD and Blu-ray editions of Very Good Girls.
A summer theatrical break
is for the end of this month to raise awareness. With Foner’s track record, the cast, which
includes support from the likes of Richard Dreyfuss, Demi Moore and Ellen
Barkin, Very Good Girls should do just fine … and Well Go U.S.A. will
have little problem drumming up DVD and Blu-ray interest for this one during
the post-Labor Day period.
Lily (Dakota Fanning) and
Gerry (Elizabeth Olsen — Oldboy, Godzilla) have been
friends as long as they can remember.
They could be sisters.
But the regiment — and
security — of high school is over and choices need to be made. Off to college in the fall, but one thing is
for certain, it is time for men, the days of flirting with boys has suddenly
slipped away.
Lily is the quiet
one. Introspective, perhaps even shy, but
Gerry has no such limitations. They both
come from means; good families … so they have options. The two talk about sex … about having a
relationship — falling in love — and in those friend-on-friend conversations a
sort of dare is proposed, “let’s lose our virginity before we head off to
college.” Gerry is eager for, while Lily
is not so sure.
Enter David, (Boyd
Holbrook — The Host, Milk) a sort of everyman free
spirit. He’s handsome, intelligent and
oh so sexy. Gerry figures that he’s the
one, but it is Lily that — for reasons that are not quite clear — catches his
eye. And surprise, she suddenly finds
herself having an “affair;” cheating on her best friend. She is keeping secrets that were never secrets
… until now!!!
Foner’s Very
Good Girls tests friendship; sisterhood. Can young women remain life-long friends
when the object of their mutual attention is the same young man?
