Eighth Grade

2018, dir Bo Burnham w/Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton, 93 min, DCP

Again, not necessarily a film for kids of all ages but one that captures a pivotal moment in anyone’s life – the transition from child to teenager – perfectly. As Kayla (Fisher) navigates the social minefield of junior high and her single dad (Hamilton) struggles to keep a grip on what is going on with his daughter, a thoughtful, poignant, and touching story develops.
