Two teen girls set up a “fight club” in a bid to attract cheerleaders in this blood-soaked comedy that makes you wince, laugh, and pause to reflect before the next pithy one-liner lands…
Personally this felt a bit like a female equivalent of films like Superbad to me…
In an interview about their favourite “teen” films (a genre continuing to expand beyond its traditional limits), Seligman, Sennott and Edebiri – who studied together at NYU – juggle references not only to Mean Girls (2004) and Bring It On (2000), but also to Battle Royale (2000) and Kill Bill (2003). Suffice to say that Bottoms owes as much to the last two films of that list as it does to the first.
Well I’m sold.
Yeah the fights are pretty cool.
It’s not showing around me here in the UK. I may y have to wait for streaming.
Worth putting on your watchlist!
It already is. I just now need someone to give me the opportunity to watch it.
