Review of Eighth Grade (2018) by Jdx_Awesome — 22 Aug 2018

I’m a big fan of Bo Burnham. His two comedy specials are some of the funniest I’ve ever seen. What surprised me about this movie is that there aren’t any jokes in it. It’s not funny, it’s just incredible awkward, and all we can think to do is laugh it off.

This is a good thing by the way. As someone who’s essentially lived in the setting of this movie, this is the perfect portrayal of it. This is one of greatest directorial debuts of all time, and I couldn’t be more impressed.

Everything was amazing excepted for some of the shots, but that’s to be expected from a first time director. I really have no complaints outside of it being too accurate. I can’t gush about this movie enough.
