Eighth Grade (2018) - Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton - Directed by Bo Burnham

In her head. I don't know how Bo Burnham got so in an eighth grade girl's head. But he did.

He and Elsie Fisher captured the anxious, fumbling ambitions of an eighth grader and project them onto a screen to pair with my prepubescent mind.

Eighth Grade (2018)
Then to have the dad moment in the backyard was the antidote that we could all use.

Sweet and honest, like God looking down on our humanity and telling us that we're doing just fine.

A lovely film.

I couldn't recommend it more.
