Eighth Grade
Based on the most awkward year of your life.
Directed by Bo Burnham
Produced by A24, Scott Rudin Productions
A tender, observational comedy-drama about the social anxiety and self-discovery of a thirteen-year-old navigating the final week of middle school in the age of social media.
Thirteen-year-old Kayla endures the tidal wave of contemporary suburban adolescence as she makes her way through the last week of middle school — the end of her thus far disastrous eighth grade year — before she begins high school.
