I thought middle school sucked 25 years ago, but the social anxiety and pressure has only been magnified by technology and looming threats of violence. Still, this movie expertly made me feel like an awkward teenager again... and then made me realize what it felt like to parent one. I didn't expect to have such an emotional reaction to this... but it was so raw and real, I couldn't help it. Highly recommended.

decidedly NOT a comedy, and definitely a circumstance where the pedigree of the director does more to earn a label than the content of the movie itself. this is awkward and uncomfortable the whole way through, particularly with its climax, which is downright chilling. that horror, though, comes from authenticity, which is ample in a movie that about parasocial relationships. Josh Hamilton gives an all-time great dad performance, even if I spent the whole movie thinking he was Denis Leary.

Elsie Fisher brings a lot of truth to her character. I love coming of age stories, and I had high expectations for this one, but I didn't really connect with it, and I found the use of music out of place.

I'm impressed that Bo Burnham managed to frame in all the just barely escaped unwanted sexual encounters that happen to every female, and that never stop no matter how old you get. This movie is super cringe and awkward but there's a lot of well done real life packed into an hour and a half.

Eight grade was easily the worst year of my life, so I found much of this extremely difficult to watch. This is a good thing--it gets so much exactly right. Elsie Fisher is excellent.

I'll not deny that Burnham wrote a genuine feeling story here, and that Fisher's talent brought it to life, but it doesn't really matter that much to me because I've gone through 8th grade myself, and watching other average, awkward teens on film just doesn't strike me as good quality entertainment. So if you want to cringe, or feel second-hand embarrassment, go for it. Final note, Kayla's dad may have been the most supportive, underappreciated parent on the planet in this one.

Eighth Grade is enthralling and manages to do it without a discernible plot, overblown dramas or forced comedy. It all works because of Kayla, and the way she is brought to life by Elsie Fisher. Not a single moment did I think that she's acting; she IS Kayla. This movie is a wonderfully accurate depiction of the anxious, uncomfortable and slightly dreamlike world of a 13-year-old. It openly shows things that people don't dare talk about – and hopefully, after seeing this movie, will talk about

Bo Burnham has a way of communicating extremely fragile and rarely spoken emotions that is incredibly relatable. And the casting in this film is phenomenal.

biggest difference ever between my predicted (82) and the actual score i give... might have given it a higher score if i hadn't brought my two teenage daughters with me on the basis of a couple of raving reviews and a post on commensense media. I found the tone of the movie too uniform, relentlessly cringy. pace was slow. my daughters didn't relate and me neither, mostly. A bit sad as getting everyone to go see a "grown-up" movie isn't that easy.

The 1st date I ever took someone on was at Mickey D's, so that penultimate scene proved painfully relatable, a fitting end to an already great and hilariously recognisable portrait of teenage life. I didn't think much of it halfway through, but it managed to unpack a great deal of heart, truth and maturity near the end. First-time directors really aced it in 2018 (The Guilty, Wildlife, Minding the Gap, Blindspotting,...)

This one brought home the pains of growing up with a poignancy that most other coming of age films don't come close to. It wraps up things a bit too neatly in the end, and it does occasionally dip into cliché, but even those moments are heartfelt - heck, this movie even manages to make Enya sound great. The entire soundtrack is amazing actually, as is, of course, the acting.

Fisher is very good, but the story in this film is very uneven. It starts brilliantly, but gradually loses its way in a spiral of increasing misery until it backs away from a foreshadowed disaster and makes a sharp turn that leads to a typically American conclusion where we are ALL bound to be happy, even though Trump is elected president.

An absolute powerhouse of visual art. Honest and focused script dripping with self conviction. Direction in a unique style with no compromises to audience or studio expectations. Expansive, deep soundtrack (think Blade Runner 2049) ironically complements the braver moments of the film perfectly. Exceptional acting from the lead, perfectly fitted for the role, with strong support from the 2-4 supporting roles. Nothing to write home about in the cinematography, though there are some nice shots.

A lot of scenes hit uh way too close to home for me, especially in the way the camera constantly avoids eye contact. Too much of the message is tied to its white female suburban protagonist to really get to the heart of living with social anxiety though. Btw do schools seriously do active shooter drills like that now because that's terrifying

Gorgeously shot, Bo Burnham has the directing bit down. The writing could have been more polished, but it captures a certain essence of the early teens with naturalness, and the film wraps together satisfyingly with grace and a memorable performance by Elsie Fisher.
