In writer-director Bo Burnham‘s startlingly realistic feature film debut, the painful awkwardness (social and otherwise) of modern teen-dom is pitch-perfectly captured via a thirteen-year-old protagonist named Kayla (Golden Globe nominee Elsie Fisher, in one of the year’s most genuinely captivating performances). Young Kayla endures a seemingly endless tidal wave of contemporary suburban adolescence as she makes her way through the last week of middle school — the end of her thus far disastrous eighth grade year — before she begins high school. With Josh Hamilton, Emily Robinson.

“EIGHTH GRADE masterfully captures the emotional horror of being a Generation Z middle-schooler, yet tells a universally relatable coming of age story.” (Screen Rant)

“Movies about teenagers are often filled with contrived excesses, but Mr. Burnham understands that some of the most pronounced extremes — the drama, the comedy, the horror — take place in that lonely room known as our heads.” (The New York Times)
