Eighth Grade (2018)
7/10
A pleasant surprise
3 April 2021
As most people, I got into this movie because of Bo. I wanted to see what a prolific comedian could do as a director. I expected a very Bo-Esq experience, but that's not what you will find. Sure, it is not a masterpiece but it also not a gimmick. It is a good movie, with a simple but involving story and a great grasp on what being a teen is about.

The acting suffices, as you mostly see teenagers being teenagers. The theme of fitting in is present throughout the movie and that's about it.

It is a simple movie that is not scared of showing some ugly truths of what is like being a teen. Not what I expect from Bo, but in a good way.
