Interview: The "Shiva Baby" duo re-team on "Bottoms," an unpredictable high school comedy that might really be a love letter to their own friendship.
Everyone who saw this at film festivals earlier in the year claimed it would become a cult classic sooner rather than later.
Sure, come to “Bottoms” with your expectations of house parties and hijinks. Seligman's film, which opens in theaters Friday, instead follows its own demented logic in a winding and surreal comedy of adolescent absurdity. The brash PJ ( Rachel Sennott ) and the more hesitant Josie ( Ayo Edebiri ) are longtime best friends who, in reaching senior year at Rock Ridge High, have either finally attained a much sought-after status ("We're finally hot," insists PJ) or bottomed out at the low end of the high-school totem pole.
Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri bring a new sapphic spin to high school raunch comedies in soon-to-be cult classic, Bottoms.
Movie review, 'Bottoms': Emma Seligman's sophomore feature about awkward teens creating an all-girls fight club is a raunchy, clever satire.
