Naomi Foner's directorial debut Very Good
Girls has some delicious icing, including excellent performances from Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen, and plenty of trimming in the way of Demi Moore, Richard Dreyfus, Peter Sarsgaard, Clark Gregg, and Boyd Holbrook, but its under - developed plot and overly sentimental premise leave it ooey and
gooey in the
middle with not even a sugar rush to make up for its failings.
