	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] won’t be for everyone, but it’s a movie of outrageously forward-looking talent"	POS
United States	Olivia McCormack The Washington Post	"Irreverent yet politically relevant queer-centric high school farce (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle	"After watching this often uproarious, sometimes sentimental high school sisterhood revenge fantasy, it'll be hard not to talk about 'Bottoms' (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"It is the horniest, bloodiest high school movie of the 21st century"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It is a barrage of jokes (...) And the supporting cast is phenomenal"	POS
United States	Valerie Complex Deadline	"It’s definitely an ambitious second outing for a director who still has room to grow, but should also be admired for their fearlessness and inventiveness"	POS
United States	Rafael Motamayor IndieWire	"An indescribably funny, horny, and weird new charmer"	POS
United States	Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"Acerbic, airy and less subversive than it thinks (...) Sharply made, but not as smart as it should be (...) The jokes keep coming, but without a meaningful foundation"	NEU
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide The Guardian	"Emma Seligman’s enjoyably scattershot follow-up to 'Shiva Baby' (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"The film's unique blend of deadpan and absurdist humor, and its tendency to occasionally push the boundaries of good taste, shows that Emma Seligman is comfortable working on both ends of the comic spectrum (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jake Kring-Schreifels The Film Stage	"[It] manages to carve its own surrealist place in the genre's rich pantheon"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"Funniest movie of the year? Might be!"	POS
United States	Aurora Amidon Paste Magazine	"With the help of Sennott, Seligman squeezes every ounce of humor out of each of the film's thoughtfully-crafted scenarios"	POS
United States	Elisabeth Vincentelli The New York Times	"For most of its tight running time, 'Bottoms' hovers on the cusp of greatness"	NEU
United States	Laura Babiak The New York Observer	"It joins the ranks of countless other subversive teen comedies, making space for itself as an instant queer cult classic (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jason Bailey The Playlist	"It’s wildly funny and delightfully subversive"	POS
United States	Kristy Puchko Mashable	"'Bottoms' is not only riotously entertaining but also sure to establish itself as a queer, chaotic landmark among its iconic predecessors"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Bottoms' is somewhat uneven but consistently engaging, critical of the way adolescence is portrayed in cinema yet sympathetic to young people who wish their experience emulated what they see on screen"	NEU
United States	Drew Gillis AV Club	"Blisteringly funny follow-up to 'Shiva Baby'"	POS
United States	David Crow Den of Geek	"It's all so silly that it ends up being kind of badass (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ross Bonaime Collider	"A delightfully bizarre film that is always unexpected while being perfectly balanced by the two lead performances of Edebiri and Sennott"	POS
United States	Coleman Spilde The Daily Beast	"'Bottoms' harnesses the unique strengths of all three of its main players"	POS
