Sennott said she also wanted to be matter-of-fact about how much the characters would already know about sex. “Sometimes it’s like the girls discover a vibrator in the couch and they’re like, ‘Oh my god!

“We were trying to make a satire, and we wanted to be able to reflect the times that we’re in,” Seligman said. “I don’t think we’re doing our job properly unless we’re making a high school movie that actually takes place in a high school that people can relate to right now. So that’s where that darkness came in.”
“If I had seen this when I was 16, this probably would have made my life slightly easier — and then maybe slightly harder as well,” Edebiri said.
