Pimples, sweat, and excruciating YouTube videos, Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade is a depiction of an entire generation’s agonising early adolescence. Following thirteen-year-old Kayla (Elsie Fisher) in her final week of middle school, we navigate through the politics of social media, the pain of conversing with the cutest boy at school, and the embarrassment of having parents.
