err.... sounds like that makes you a fan of Tom Cruise.

He wasn’t. Buff is fine. His southerners suck act is like 10 years old. Buff is a nice man.

so you're telling me that Buff wasn't disrespectful and a bit nasty to Davii during that exchange? ok, yeah, I guess I never looked at it that way.

Buff loves me.

Eighth Grade 8.5/10

Really good coming of age story from fist time director and comedian Bo Burnham. The film follows a young girl named Kayla during the final days of eighth grade as she struggles with issues of anxiety, self worth, and ultimately self reflection. This movie could have easily veered off into "After School Special" territory, but instead we find a movie full of earnest humor and heart that comes from organic situations and events that really draw you into the story and help you emphasize with the main character.

For his first stint as writer/director I was impressed with the visual poetry that Bo Burnham has produced. The cinematography, score, and framing of certain scenes lead to an almost voyeuristic quality, and one scene in particular near the end of the film makes your skin crawl and really leaves you with a sense of helplessness (and I'm sure it will be doubly bad for those who have been in similar situations or parents of younger daughters).

My one issue with the film is Kayla's father who is a little too understanding and ecclectic for my tastes and I wanted to punch him in the face several times. But there are two scenes that saved his character for me, including a priceless reaction that wraps up his story arc with his daughter. This movie just entered wide release and is worth the time if you are looking for a non-superhero flick. A24 studios is doing for modern independent cinema what MIRAMAX did in the 90's, and I hope they keep churning out great films like this.

My daughter will be in the 8th grade this year.

Akira.

Eight out of ten.
