Eighth Grade Was Directed By Bo Burnham And

stars Elsie Fisher as young Kayla, a girl in her last week of eighth grade, trying to survive because it’s absolutely terrible and her life is painfully embarrassing, and this is something that I think a lot of kids and adults can relate to if they’ve ever been that shy kid in class or the unpopular kid trying to reach out trying to make friends, but it takes a different approach to it than films you may have seen like this from the 90s or early 2000s and so much of this film relies on our hero. Young Kayla and Elsie Fisher gives a star-making performance here she’s totally charming completely real and I basically loved everything that she brought to this movie. I thought she was so fantastic and the writing was also very realistic and very authentic for eighth graders. film bridges the gap between acts by having her make a UK video and we see a UK video in which she’s talking about how to gain confidence or something like that, and then we see her dialogue overlaid over a sequence in which we witness her trying to do something that she’s talking about in her UK videos and what I loved about that is that through those videos that she’s making she’s trying to reach out she’s trying to connect. We never really get an idea of if anyone’s actually watching her channel that much except for one person in the film who mentions it, but despite wanting to create videos about things like confidence or how to be yourself, she has a really hard time doing that in real life, which I thought was an excellent commentary on modern-day social media.

Im Not Sure If Thats What.

Burnham was going for but it does feel like He’s saying look at all these people who are online telling us how to act or how to feel. But in everyday life they have no idea how to do it. And I thought that was really beautiful and the film captured it extremely well. Throughout the movie Kayla would get opportunities to do things she wanted to do.

Maybe She Got Invited To A Party

or maybe she got to go out with some people a little bit older than her and that excited her every single time something was looking up for her in the back of my mind. I’m thinking no it’s about to crash and burn. This is so terrible I’m getting anxiety just watching this terrible flashbacks of eighth grade. Oh my God and that’s why the writing is so good because you always feel like the Hammers about to drop on this poor girl. You never really feel like she’s crawling out of this introverted and very embarrassing phase that she’s in even when things are kind of looking up for her her father portrayed by Josh Hamilton in the film I thought was wonderful.

He Has Some Beautiful Scenes With Her.

However, his character does sometimes feel almost too good to be true like so much of the film feels very grounded and then he’s just the best dad ever you could possibly have ever and it just it just felt a little bit fantastical to me, but it wasn’t something that took me out of the film. It was just kind of in retrospect looking back on how authentic everything else was he did feel sort of. Like impossibly perfect and the film does follow a formula that we’re used to seeing in films like this.

For Instance, Theres A Young Boy

that she has a major crush on every time she sees him we get a close-up of his eyes and some booming techno music, which I thought was absolutely hilarious, but there’s also that one kid who’s really nice to her and in your head. You’re like yeah that’s the person you should be talking to you not this guy and we’ve seen that many times in films before-but it’s the wonderful writing the sharp comedy and the commentary on today’s youth that continue to make this film extremely entertaining. It also has a nerve-wracking scene in a car. I saw this film with two of my friends and I think we just held our breath for like five straight minutes It was.

Extremely Well Done The Film Is

definitely worth seeing it has great performances. I really enjoyed eighth grade and I’m gonna give it an A–guys Thank you so much as always for watching look forward to more reviews very soon but I do also want to give a major thank you to David Gregory of Severn films for sending me an early copy of The Changeling. The 1980 horror film with George C Scott that I find very overlooked This is gonna be officially released on August 7th. You can pre-order it now this isn’t sponsored They did not ask me to do this.

Im Doing This Purely Because They

sent this to me and I think it’s a wonderful horror film that not a lot of people talk about as much as I think they should. I think it’s extremely extremely well shot and we acted it’s. of my favorite haunted house movies and now that it’s finally getting an UK re-release. I’m
