Eighth Grade
“Based on the most awkward year of your life”
ComedyDrama
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.
VIBE
This film feels like a raw, unfiltered dive into the excruciatingly awkward and deeply empathetic world of middle school. It's a cringey, yet hopeful, journey through the anxieties of finding your voice and identity in the digital age, resonating with anyone who remembers the struggle of just trying to be cool.
