Eighth Grade

Skittish 13-year-old Kayla Day (Elsie Fisher) may want to seem like she's projecting self-confidence in her little-viewed online posts, but her last days of middle school find her struggling to navigate home life with her hovering dad (Josh Hamilton), her crush on a seemingly unobtainable cool kid (Luke Prael), and an otherwise unending struggle to fit in. Perceptive and riveting read on contemporary adolescence from writer-director Bo Burnham also stars Emily Robinson, Catherine Oliviere, Daniel Zolghadri. 93 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
