Almost feels like a straight up horror movie, I don't know why I felt such dread for Kayla while watching, besides it I'm sure relating to my own experiences in high school and social interactions in general. The bonfire chat Kayla has with her dad is one of the best scenes of the year; Bo Burnham wrote it so well and Elsie Fisher and Josh Hamilton play it perfectly. Although pretty different in particulars, it reminds me as being emotionally similar to the conversation with the dad at the end in Call Me By Your Name. Also credit to Burnham for not playing the dad role himself.

I'm not sure you could watch Eighth Grade and not find yourself attached to a moment or character that reminds you of your own jr high days. A sometimes tough, always realistic portrayal of a strange time we all go through, it also is a great depiction of how social media can effect things. Bluray looks and sounds great, though it's just a little indie film so it's not like it's gonna be a demo disc.

Before I watched this I knew I was in for a great film. The entire start and finish of this movie is great. Dealing with that weird age everyone goes through in life and some things that occur earlier on in our younger years. Definitely a must see for those dad's who have daughters like myself. Makes me wish my kids didn't have to grow up. I give at a 9/10 overall.

This movie hits right in the feels especially if you grew up in the 2000s. Eighth Grade is a relatively new film but can already stand toe-to-toe with some of the best coming-of-age stories ever made. It’s a sweet and touching movie that, despite its rating, people both young and old should watch.

A fantastic directorial debut from Bo Burnham and a stellar lead performance from Elsie Fisher. Definitely a film so many people can relate to if they had a rough time in school. Genuine and hilarious, while also brutally honest, one of 2018's best movies.
