"Exploring the Wild and Bloody World of 'Bottoms': A Queer High School Comedy"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Associated Press
"Bottoms," a wild and boundary-pushing high school sex comedy, is set to hit theaters, offering a fresh take on queer teen representation. The film follows two unpopular friends who form an all-female self-defense class to get close to the cheerleaders they desire, only for it to devolve into a bloody fight club. Directed by Emma Seligman and starring Ayo Edebiri, Kaia Gerber, Nicholas Galitzine, and Marshawn Lynch, "Bottoms" aims to be riotously funny and slyly insightful, challenging the lack of equivalent stories for queer girls in the genre. The film's creators, who met at New York University, have been collaborating and supporting each other's careers since their student days, and now they're ready to make their mark in the industry.
