Hi Beth - did not see either of these, but Bottoms does appeal to me more than Fair Play. It's so funny to see these "high school" movies with actors that are a decade older than the age they are playing. It helps when both Rachel and Ayo look younger than 28.
I certainly couldn't comment on the Gen Z Brat Pack question, as I'm both too old and out of the loop. I thought Sennott was excellent in Shiva Baby, but that's the only thing I've seen her in. But Edibiri seems to be able to inhabit any kind of role and I expect she'll be a sought-after actor for decades to come.
Thanks Steve! The Boston Jewish Film Festival is underway. Just saw “I Like Movies” (2022) - a beautiful coming-of-age film centered on a geeky cinephile/high school senior with deep seated emotional issues that takes place around the turn of the millennium. It was a tender and compassionate portrayal and said a lot.

Did the Boston Jewish Film Fest already happen?
