I’d encourage you to at least read some more reviews and articles about Eighth Grade before you totally write it off. It’s not the feel-good movie of the year, but it is well-made, well-acted, and a pretty realistic depiction of a lot of the pressure our teens today face. I’m glad I saw it, but I doubt I’ll be going back for seconds…and I think both of those things are okay.
Check the trailer out, and you’ll get a taste of what the movie is about (though I do NOT think it’s this upbeat!)
Have any of you seen Eighth Grade? I’d love to know what you thought of it, and whether or not you’ll be taking your kids.
