Reviews

Hilarious Crowd Pleaser

"This is one of the funniest films I've seen. Made all the better by being only an hour and twenty. The dialogue is extremely sharp. Bolstered by show stopping performances from Rachel Sennott. A crowd pleaser? Not sure if thats the best description but I was in the crowd. And I was pleased."

Logan S. (5/5)

Excellent anxiety cinema

"Anxiety-inducing a la Safdie bros, but with a more overly humorous tone. Amazing stuff, I wish it was longer but I'm not sure how much more I could take! Fantastic artwork for this release, and I love the poster as well."

Tony H. (5/5)

Adam R. (5/5)

Fantastic gift!

"This is an exceptional gift I got for my little sister who Is a big fan of Emma Seligmans second film, Bottoms! The Second slip is amazing amazing & looks great over the disc."

Zadeh G. (5/5)

Before Bottoms, there was Shiva Baby.

"Such a cool movie. Seligman induces anxiety just as well as the Safdies but doesn’t get nearly as much credit. Amazing cast including my beloveds Rachel Sennott and Molly Gordon. I highly recommended it."
