Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut Booksmart has been receiving rave reviews thanks to its raw and honest portrayal of female friendship.
The relationship between its heroines Amy and Molly is a beating heart and soul of this precious gem of a movie – and here are a few important lessons we learned from watching them.
Constant Support
Your BFF should be your biggest cheerleader. Amy and Molly are each other’s rock and it’s a joy to watch them constantly complimenting each other, even when the rest of the world doesn’t see how amazing they truly are.
Being Open
Amy and Molly’s friendship looks perfect on the surface, but it’s actually flawed like any other. Bottling things up and hiding important parts of your life from your friend is never a good idea, because it may completely ruin your friendship in the long run.
Exploring Different Interests
Growing up with someone and spending a lot of time together often leads to developing similar interests, but there will always be something you don’t have in common. Understand your friend has a different path, and encourage them to explore their unique passions instead of holding them back.
