Little Bitches

The story unfolds across the final years of high school, from freshman pledges to senior-year revelations, in a contemporary moment. Technology and social dynamics shape interactions, from texts to late-night plans. The narrative condenses four years into a single arc centered on the senior party and the letters promised four years earlier.

The action centers on a suburban high school and its surrounding town, with classrooms, detention rooms, and crowded hallways acting as the main settings. The senior party and after-hours town spaces—like the liquor store run and the party venue—become pivotal plot locations. The school environment serves as a pressure cooker where popularity, loyalty, and personal growth collide.

🤝 Friendship

Friendship is the through-line as Annie, Marisa, and Kelly navigate distance, drift, and moments of reconciliation. The vow from freshman year tests loyalty when life pulls friends in different directions. Promises are renegotiated as honesty and vulnerability surface. The ending emphasizes that forgiveness can deepen bonds, even after years apart.

👑 Popularity

The film examines how social status shapes interactions and self-image in high school. Kelly's popularity affords attention while masking loneliness and the fear of losing friends. Peers exert pressure to conform, influencing choices at the senior party and beyond. The narrative critiques how status can obscure genuine connection and empathy.

🌱 Coming of Age

Each girl confronts the realities of growing up, including flawed decisions and evolving identities. They learn to articulate needs, face hurt, and choose accountability over fantasy. Vulnerability and self-discovery emerge through missteps and late-night conversations. In the end, they navigate future paths while preserving a sense of shared history.

🔥 Rebellion

The pursuit of the senior party becomes a catalyst for independence and risk-taking. Characters test boundaries, skip classes, and seek freedom from expectations. The tension peaks with impulsive acts and messy consequences. Ultimately, the energy of youth is redirected toward more mature choices and responsibility.
