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.

this movie was such a hard and uncomfortable watch, but that’s because it was so real. the cringe and second hand embarrassment i felt truly brought me back to eighth grade. elsie fisher did an amazing job, kayla was weird af, but also so endearing. and this movie fr made me cry

literally just watching a socially awkward girls life, got corny and hard to watch at times

Personal Enjoyment 6/10

Real and honest, which I always appreciate. But this movie just brought back childhood trauma and made me lowkey uncomfortable lol. I guess that was probably part of the goal… but idk if I would rewatch. Her dad is an absolute sweetheart though, just a guy trying his best.
