Margo’s Got Money Troubles
Margo’s English tutor thinks she’s Harvard material. If only he wasn’t using this assessment to flatter her into bed. When, with grim predictability, he leaves her literally holding the baby, Margo (Elle Fanning) realises she has followed in the footsteps of her mother Shyanne (Michelle Pfeiffer) who had her after a one-night stand with a punter at Hooters. What unfolds is a story of hardscrabble female solidarity as Margo, determined to retain a degree of autonomy, unlocks both an income and her latent creativity via an OnlyFans account. The script is smart, funny and unsentimental and the lead performances (particularly Pfeiffer) are full of warmth and charm.
