Eighth Grade

the bitch was weird asf

9/10
As someone who just exited childhood, this movie was too real. So much so that it made me feel a visceral level of cringe. It made those heart warming or sad scenes, hit even harder too. Most “coming of age” movies are out of touch, but this one actually felt like being 13

This movie was uncomfortable, honest, and the thing I loved most about it was the universality it had. It gave a glimpse inside the digital generation and it was such a rare movie that I think speaks to any age. Bo Burnham did an amazing job writing this story.

Scarily accurate

Did an excellent job reconnecting me with my middle-schooler self. Had me welling up with the themes of growing up, losing our innocence, struggling with insecurities and self worth, and navigating the world while discovering your identity. Captured the cringe of 13 very well.

Beautifully depicted
