Eighth Grade

Rated R • 93 minutes

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. To cope, she publishes video blogs as a self-styled motivational advice-giver, though she spends much of her time obsessing over social media.
