DoRevengeNetflix star Alisha Boe opens up about why she wanted to play a mean girl in the coming-of-age comedy. 'I think what I do relate to is being in high school and trying to figure out where I need my validation to come from.'
As the film garners rave reviews, Do Revenge star Alisha Boe opens up about her mean girl character. The cast for the new dark comedy movie coming to Netflix this weekend stars Riverdale actress Camila Mendes and Stranger Things fan-favorite Maya Hawke. Originally titled Strangers when it was announced in 2020, Do Revenge is directed by Someone Great filmmaker Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and also stars Sophie Turner, Maia Reficco, and Austin Abrams.
Drawing inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock's On A Train, Do Revenge follows an unlikely high school duo, Drea , a former popular girl, and Eleanor , a social outcast. After Drea's sex tape is wrongfully released to the entire student body, best-friend-turned-enemy Tara exiles Drea, and her and Eleanor agree to get revenge on their enemies at all costs.
[I] definitely have no idea what world she lives in, [in] terms of just extreme wealth. I just didn't even grow up close to whatever world they are all in. I couldn't relate to that. I think what I do relate to is being in high school and trying to figure out where I need my validation to come from.
Although Boe can't relate to her Do Revenge character's privileged background, it's important she found a way to connect to her by looking past the surface level and seeing her perspective as a teenage girl in need of social validation. Based on her answer, it also seems as though Tara has a major arc throughout the film and eventually redeems herself, despite turning against her best friend.
As the mean girl trope is a classic part of the YA movie genre, Boe also hints that she was drawn to the character because it will break the stereotypical mold they're usually stuck inside of. Through showing just how far she'll go, and the relationships she'll ruin, to fit in, Do Revenge promises a fresh take on the high school movie genre, especially with early reviews proving largely positive, setting it up to potentially be this generation's Heathers.
