Eigth Grade

Michael and Dave review Eighth Grade, the directorial debut from stand-up comic Bo Burnham and likely oscar contender.

 

Eighth Grade is the story of Kayla Day, an awkward Eighth Grader who is about to finish middle school and enter high school. The year has been a pretty rough one for Kayla, and despite the faux confidence she shows via videos she posts on the internet (to presumably no one), she remains an isolated and awkward girl. The movie documents the last two weeks of her awful eight grade year as she struggles to navigate adolescence, boys, and modern America.
