Eighth Grade | Official Trailer HD | A24

Seeing Bo Burnham directed and wrote this movie flabbergasted me😭🤣🏃🏽‍♀️

This movie came out when I was in 8th grade, and I gotta say it’s stuck with me ever since. Amazing film.

damn shes hot

The fact that she would be a sophomore in college now 😭

i watched this movie before i went to 8th grade and it honestly changed my life. as an autistic who is introverted most of the time, it really does please me that the main character goes through the same thing. i found this movie really comforting and amazing, and i really hope they make more movies like this :')

What's weird is this was filmed entirely in my hometown. Why in the world did he film there? It was almost a re-telling. My middle school experience was horrible. So many filming locations like the mall is exactly what we did. This was almost triggering lmaoo

what is the name of the opening song?

As someone who was in middle school around the same time (I’m in my early 20s) it was so refreshing to watch a movie that depicted the experience of being that age so accurately! Bo Burnham did an amazing job and it was nice to see something with such believable actors since most movies I’ve seen showing middle school have been so unrealistic

This was me in school😅 ….social anxiety is no joke

Everything was on point! As a 29 yo girl even without the internet experience as a eighth graders I related so much to this movie. I remember being always angry and mean to my parents and felt terrible about it it took me some years to realise K was just a 13yo girl confused about everything. Confused starting feeling attraction to the cute guy at school but at some time attract some weird predators . Confused about not having many friends and receive compliments from teachers for being quiet and well behave but being reject by the same reasons by my peers.

Hell is being a girl at eighth grade.

Bruh blowjobs ain’t that bad if you are confident. Simple as that. Swallow and move on.

Me and my mum watched this and it had us both bawling our eyes out! Such a sweet film and so realistic. Her acting was incredible!! ❤️

Eighth Grade had to be rewatched since it came out exactly 5 years ago today. Bo Burnham understands what teenagers are like apart from other films where the actors look like they’re actually in college or older. I think everyone can relate to this story in some way.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH

all the tsitp stans better watch this before trying to judge her all solely for being herself ☹

when it was normal 😔

She's hot.

Is this the girl from the summer I turned pretty

This movie is too accurate holy shit

This looks like the most accurate teen movie I’ve seen. There are teen movies where the director and cast try too hard to be teenagers and it just doesn’t work.

Turns 5!

Let's face it, at one point or another we've all felt awkward or out of place
Elsie Fisher as Kayla is the one who can relate to so many youths in the audience
Much like Kayla we grew up in school not knowing what to expect
We talk nervously, say the wrong things, try to be like everyone else to be cool or noticed etc.
It's the worst thing we go through feeling alone, nervous or anti-social
She's about to graduate from eighth grade in middle school and wants badly to make as much of an impact to many of her classmates
Kayla even has an internet blog sharing her feelings and opinions on what it's like for someone like her to swim through difficult waters
At one point she even worries she'll disappoint her father
Director Bo Burnham offers a perceptive look at adolescence; all the highs, lows, the strangeness, the surprises
Young adulthood is also what Burnham himself went through heavily and you can clearly see what transcends to the screen
It's really all about the anxiety we carry as we get older but unaware of how to act around our peers
Confidence and self-esteem aren't the easiest things to face but they are things we can overcome
You can't be brave without being scared, we can see past embarrassment and only focus what's in front of us, being yourself is the best you can be, growing up happens and there's no stopping the good or bad parts involved
It's good too this also holds a lot of power for adults even for those who've left school behind them
For a film like this it's so refreshing to have the needs and wants of young girls represented in a relatable manner given that teens now are so immersed in social media getting likes and shares, there's almost no frame in this whole thing where someone isn't looking at their phone
Plus with Elsie Fisher it remains very authentic given she's an actual 13 year old not all glamoured up and presented as flawed
At times the movie lags in spots but we're allowed to spend time with this girl knowing she's stressing about moving up in the world
Not strictly for teens but welcome for grown ups to to have deep, meaningful discussions about the subject

This movie was so relatable to me cause I was just like her. I'm so glad they made this I hope it helps other young girls

I can’t watch this movie. It’s waaaaay too accurate to my life and I know I’d be bawling my eyes out by the end.

I just watched it last week for Fathers Day. Such a good movie. I have high functioning autism and it makes me wish my final week of 8th grade was this idealistic.

Laws = Dont be happii.
Young men/ women & everyone else = 🤬👍

Bets video production ever

Great movie, very realistic and actually refreshing to see something that resembles real life and not some bullshit.

Close enough!

oh my gosh im literally going into eighth 💀

Everything's rated R in America. In Canada it's Rated 14. Why don't Muricuns just keep their offspring locked away in cages? What an embarrassment.

Reason to Watch This Movie 🤔🙄

The fact that Bo Burnham casted an actual eighth grader with acne (Elsie Fisher) for this movie really sets this in an entirely new light. It is the exact opposite of the Dear Evan Hansen movie (they casted a 28-year-old to play a high-schooler).

As someone who’s been in eighth grade before, this film is extremely accurate depicting the troubled life of this time in school.

This was so painfully accurate for me

This came out when I finished 8th grade it was hell the worst school year of my life everyone I knew was a dick, teachers treated us like we were stupid

And one of them who we all found creepy turned out to be a pedophile

THIS is R RATED!?

DANGGG is this what I have been going thru 😧

This movie was very well done. I must admit that as a kid who went to middle school in the '70's, it floored me to see the ritual of a "school shooter" drill in class when all we had were fire drills. That one scene said so much about how more terrifying American society has evolved into. :-(

the bonfire scene when she’s talking to her dad about how she feels like a burden made me burst into tears..A24 never misses this movie completely encapsulates the experience of being a middle schooler transitioning into high school :’) it made me feel like i teleported back into 8th grade

depresive

I saw this movie and it was very cringe worthy. It was OK, I wasn’t impressed.

I was in 8th grade back in 1980/1981, and despite no social media, I can recall it being just as soul destroying, callous and gut wrenching, even then.

My daughter is in 8th grade, and she is tall, big boned and acne ridden. I feel her pain. If you are confident in 8th grade, you're doing it wrong.

This movie just made me feel horrible for humanity.

SO real and SO honest. This movie will break your heart.

I'm so late to this movie but it was so refreshing i was in eighth grade two years ago and some of the things were so painfully accurate it was kinda comforting tbh. Also that scene at the end with her dad near the fire made me cry so much, overall great movie

I wasn't a girl like her, but i remember a girl like her in school, and i was mean to her, i was one of those bitches that treated her like crap, if i only could go back in time and tell her how sorry i was, and change things, i would, i taught my kids to accept people and to show love to them no matter how different they are, that this world is beautiful because of our individually, to just accept people for who they are and we could all learn from each other about our individually, i think life would have more meaning to it!!!

This was a great movie. Super accurate to teen life.
