I liked her so much better when she was an alcoholic crack addict. She gets in one car wreck and all of a sudden she’s Little Miss Perfect and everyone loves her.

Enid Coleslaw, Ghost World

Before the Swiftian female anti-hero became cool, there was Enid Coleslaw. It’s hard to believe that twenty years have passed since the release of the coming-of-age classic Ghost World, based on the comics and graphic novel by Daniel Clowes. Enid (Thora Birch) drifts aimlessly after graduating high school, wryly observing the adult world with acerbic wit. She’s under pressure to get a job and conform to the confusingly hypocritical standards of the capitalist society she finds herself in. While her best friend Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson) is able to accept the tedium of a job at The Coffee Experience (i.e. Starbucks), Enid kicks against upselling soda sizes at the local movie theatre.
