Bottoms (2023)

What better way to kick off "Back to School" week than with this brand new raunchy teen comedy directed by Emma Seligman who recently gave us Shiva Baby?  The story focuses on two SEEMINGLY dorky (as the movie tells us) lesbian best friends who are both virgins but would prefer to  NOT stay that way as they each have their eyes on two cheerleaders for the school football team.  The two teenagers are played by Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edibri....and the only things standing in their way include the football player boyfriends of said cheerleaders, the nasty principal, and the fact that nobody really likes these girls at their school.  So the obvious solution is.....to start a fight club for girls at the school??  Yes in fact they do and the new fight club is a hit for girls looking to defend themselves....or exact revenge on folks who have hurt them.  And what results is a raucous, funny and surprisingly violent comedy which certainly does NOT pull its punches..... Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us a Text Message.https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
