    A big representation of going into eighth grade and showing the awkwardness and horiness of those years of raging hormones. Love you Bo, This movie was awesome.

    It's a coming-of-age story with bananas!

    Not a fan of coming-of-age genre but this had won so many awards, I decided to watch it. Great writing & acting, but boring, to me.

    Beautifully crafted, however, I think there were a lot of missed opportunities to delve deeper into an early teen's mind.

    It’s an absolutely spectacular piece of film. Bo never seems to miss in his writing and directing. It does an amazing job at showing the true agony and pain of having to grow up as a teenage girl. True must watch. 10/10!

    Made me laugh out loud and also made me get angry and made me sob. So rare a film can ever do that. I found it beautiful and moving like only great art can.

    Came out when I was in year eight, at the time I hated it but only because it was embarrassingly real. Cringe worthy but what else could it be at that age?

    Eighth Grade is mostly praised for being the most accurate representation of being a teenager in the modern age, but a more accurate description is that it's the most accurate representation of being a teenage girl in the modern age. It's a good film and is a Bo Burnham signature in how it somehow makes me feel embarrassed when watching, also done in his MTV miniseries, Zach Stone is Going to be Famous. But it's just not accurate to the teenage experience of a boy, and given that the realism is most of the merit in this film, I could only enjoy it so much. For an accurate representation of the teenage boy experience, watch Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused.
