About This Movie

So, 'My Very Best Friend' is one of those TV movies from the '90s that really plays with the darker sides of friendship. Dana Griffin, our lead, is definitely not the most likable character; she's got that gold digger vibe and will stop at nothing to secure her place in society. The pacing is interesting—it lingers at times, allowing the tension to build as she slowly encroaches on her friend's life, which is a bit unsettling. You can feel the drama simmering throughout. The performances, especially from the lead, have a raw quality that kind of pulls you in. The themes of betrayal and identity are really what make it distinctive, and it’s fascinating to see how they unfold.
