BOTTOMS

Rachel Sennott Special #03

Feminism. Who started it? a) Gloria Steinem b) A man c) Another woman

Zwei lesbische Teenagerinnen stehen zu ihrem Leidwesen in der Hackordnung ihrer High School ganz unten. Um trotzdem an die attraktivsten Cheerleaderinnen ranzukommen, gründen sie unter dem Vorwand einer feministischen Selbstbehauptungs-Agenda einen "Fight Club" für Mädchen, um mit den Schulschönheiten auf Tuchfühlung zu kommen

"It's been a long time since a movie has been this delightfully, unapologetically and hilariously vicious in satirizing the heteropatriarchy of high-school hegemony." Katie Walsh, Los Angelos Times (2023)

"It's senior year, and the last chance for openly queer kids PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri) to lose their virginity, as well as slough off the awkward loser status that's been haunting them through high school. The football players are worshiped like kings, teachers and parents are alarmingly uninvolved, their cover story is that they spent summer in 'juvie',and the plan is simple: start a fight club under the guise of female empowerment to get closer to the hottest cheerleaders.
Unapologetic, irreverent, and campy, pulling no punches (literally) when it comes to the biting humor or the wild attempts at fighting, Emma Seligman is at it again, taking the best parts of the high school movies that she simultaneously homages and lampoons, and filtering them through a queer, female lens where nothing is sacred but everything is hilarious." Outfest: Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival 2023

"BOTTOMS is a queer teen sex comedy that wears its influences on its sleeve, yet still resembles no other film. It cements Seligman and Sennott as two of the most exciting young voices in cinema today." Rafael Motamayor, IndieWire (2023)
