A Beautiful, funny and painful portrait of the pressures children have at school. It's called eighth grade but it applies to every year group, since time began - the pressure to fit in and the difficulty to do it is painfully exposed. A Story of seemingly small stakes becomes an epic battle - heightened by the social media age we live in now.

Very funny and very affecting, the lead actress is phenomenal. Not a hint of "child actress", completely natural and engaging.

Burnham has crafted a subtle, nostalgic and empathetic view of how difficult being a kid can be. It feels incredibly authentic.
