► SXSW Festival, 2023

Two unpopular queer girls start a fight club as a cover to get closer to the hot girls at their high school and hopefully have sex before graduation.

« Unlike any high-school comedy you’ve ever seen. It’s a satire of victimization, a satire of violence, and a satire of itself. It walks a tightrope between sensitivity and insanity (with a knowing bit of inanity), and it’s full of moments that are defiantly what we once used to call incorrect. » (Variety)

« This is a queer teen sex comedy that wears its influences on its sleeve, yet still resembles no other film. It cements Seligman and Sennott (Shiva Baby) as two of the most exciting young voices in cinema today, delivering a hit in the making with a tone that brings movies like Wet Hot American Summer and Not Another Teen Movie to a whole new generation. » (Indiewire)
