Review of Eighth Grade (2018) by Adrien B — 05 Sep 2018

A movie made by a bunch of small movie companies that try and make a film about a small, innocent, super shy 8th grade girl who tries to fit into becoming a high school girl and dealing with those things.

The movie really isn't that bad, its just a drama. But it is so awkward when the dialog is between Kayla and any other person. She is so passive and doesn't want to engage with anyone unless she is talked to first.

Also the music cues in the movie were awful playing the wrong music at the wrong time, except for one scene when she is surfing the net on her phone in bed to the song "Sail Away." That was my favorite part.

You can relate to Kayla a bit but not enough to like the movie fully. It ends abruptly kind of like Lady Bird and lets you fill in the gaps. Not really a big fan of that. Only 3 stars for this one.
