Bottoms

Bottoms (2023) is a sharp, satirical comedy that skewers the pretensions of high school masculinity. Unpopular duo PJ and Josie form a self-defense club with adolescent bravado and romantic aspirations, only to be engulfed by a chaotic wave of jock violence masquerading as martial arts. The film's deadpan humor and incisive critique of male insecurity and social hierarchy make for a biting, if occasionally surreal, commentary on the absurdity of teenage rites of passage.
