Starring 'Shiva Baby's' Rachel Sennott and 'The Bear's' Ayo Edebiri, director Emma Seligman's queered teen comedy puts a wild, violent spin on high school life.
Meet “Bottoms”: She’s the wild, brutish and unrepentantly horny doomer-Zoomer child of the classic Gen-X teen moviethe nasty niece of the Y2K-era black comedies “Jawbreaker” and “Drop Dead Gorgeous.” She’s the naughty little sis of “Mean Girls,” and the bratty cousin of “Superbad,” the BFF of “But I’m a Cheerleader.” 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.
In their debut effort “Shiva Baby,” Seligman utilized a jittery hand-held camera to take us inside the anxiety-ridden subjectivity of a chaotic bisexual stuck at the family function, copping the gritty indie style of a John Cassavetes orfor a queer female perspective. In “Bottoms,” she and cinematographer Maria Rusche employ the saturated color palette and long, gliding tracking shots that give classic teen movies their slick sheen.
