A little lie about losing her virginity turns Olive from anonymous to notorious at her high school, and she decides to use the rumor instead of outrun it. Emma Stone is Olive, watching her social standing rise and her reputation unravel at the same time as classmates, teachers, and the school board start paying attention. Penn Badgley shows up as the longtime crush in her corner, while Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson bring a bemused, off-center energy as Olive’s parents. With The Scarlet Letter hanging over the story, Olive leans into her new image and finds that gossip is easier to start than contain.
