Fear and other teenage emotions


Eighth Grade (2018)

Written & directed by Bo Burnham this film stars Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton and Emily Robinson. A girl about to graduate from middle school makes self help videos on the internet but struggles to live up to her own advise.

This film does a great job of capturing teenage anxiety and the ways immature minds try to deal with the world changing around them. There are plenty of parts of the film that are universal enough to connect with any viewer and it really makes you uncomfortable in places. Excellently made this is a great addition to the coming of age genre.

4/5
