Bottoms (2023)

Quote

Two unpopular, queer high school students start a fight club to have sex before graduation.

 

I've been waiting for this since I first heard they were making it. I loved Seligman's first film, Shiva Baby, and Rachel Sennott is excellent in everything (Shiva Baby and Bodies Bodies Bodies especially). Reviews out of SXSW were overall very positive and it was one of the most popular movies of the fest. It's in theaters in August.

Shiva Baby was one of my favourites of its year, excited to see what Seligman does next.

Reviews are good so far! Looks like a pretty limited release though; it doesn't appear to be playing anywhere near me. Hope it doesn't take too long for it to hit streaming.

Edit: Looks like it'll expand to additional screens on September 1.

I hope it comes to streaming soon!!

It never did come anywhere near me (closest theater was a 3.5-hour drive and a $50 bridge toll away), but it's available on Prime Video and iTunes now! https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/bottoms-how-to-watch-1235419305/
