Jessica Darling's It List
“Prepare to survive... Middle School”
Jessica Darling – a smart, witty, opinionated girl heading into 7th grade – was never too concerned about where she'd fit in the middle school hierarchy. But before her first day of school, her older sister — the super popular Bethany, now in college—decides to help out by giving her the “It List”—a cheat sheet on how to navigate the middle school maze and rise to the top of the popularity chain. The instructions appear simple enough to follow, but, like life, nothing is as easy as it seems.
This film feels like a nostalgic trip back to the anxieties and triumphs of middle school. It captures the awkwardness of navigating social circles with a hopeful, lighthearted touch, making it a relatable journey of self-discovery.
