The sophomore film from director Emma Seligman, Bottoms, has got people talking.

Starring Rachel Sennott, Ayo Edebiri, Ruby Cruz, Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, Nicholas Galitzine, Miles Fowler and even former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch, Bottoms follows two unpopular queer high school students start a fight club to have sex before graduation.

Landing a 95% critics score from 86 reviews and a 100% score from audience reviews, Seligman's sophomore effort looks to be a hit.

Hear what the critics had to say below.

Review roundup

  • TheWrap: Emma Seligman’s zippy yet broad ‘Shiva Baby’ follow-up renews the spirit of raunchy teen humor.

  • Vulture: Moves freely between the surreal, silly, and violent, but it's never better than when it's testing the boundaries of taste when it comes to empowerment and misogyny.

  • The Atlantic: For young people entering an uncertain era of their lives, watching that kind of judgment-free fluidity play out on-screen could easily feel as powerful as landing the perfect punch.

  • New York Times: For most of its tight running time, “Bottoms” hovers on the cusp of greatness.

  • Little White Lies: This is definitely going to be the first of many new and ambitiously special projects that highlight the gay, lesbian, or bisexual high school experience.
