Emma Seligman’s bonkers follow-up to 2020's 'Shiva Baby' could not be more different than Seligman's debut.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.Emma Seligman’s feature debut, 2020’s Shiva Baby, was a claustrophobic, uneasy comedy that put Rachel Sennott’s Danielle in an uncomfortable situation at a shiva, where, over an excruciating 78 minutes, we felt every bit of tension and awkwardness possible.
'Bottoms' Is an Excellent Parody of High School Movies 2023 superstar Ayo Edebiri and Sennott star as Josie and PJ, two teenage lesbians who are desperate to lose their virginity to the school’s cheerleaders. As they like to say, kids at their school don’t hate them for being gay, they hate them for being gay, untalented, and ugly. After an incident with the high school’s idiot star player, Jeff , the pair decide to start a fight club at their school to get closer to the hot girls.
Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott Prove They're Two of the Best Comedians Working Today Bottoms is also an excellent vehicle for two of the best up-and-coming comedians today in Edebiri and Sennott. It often has the comedic tone of their previous show together, Ayo and Rachel Are Single, and the two play beautifully off each other. Their rapport is great regardless of whatever adventure Bottoms throws them into.
'Bottoms' High School Is Packed With Funny Weirdos Beyond the leads, Bottoms has a ridiculously fun supporting cast that helps make this ludicrous world work. Liu and Gerber are both wonderful at managing to feel like a parody of high school movie archetypes, while never falling into caricature. Even though the world that Liu lives in is heightened, her story and her journey away from her awful boyfriend never feel like it’s a joke.
