60 of 89 · most liked firstI watched the movie Eighth Grade with my eighth grade daughter and started to tear up a little when the father and daughter connect over the fire pit, and my daughter looked at me and went OH MY GOD ARE YOU HAVING EMOTIONS and laughed at me for the rest of the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Fine, I’ll do it. But I will once again remind you that if what makes a great horror movie is an overwhelming sense of dread, deep empathy with a lead character creating a visceral fear that they may suffer harm, the best horror movie of the last ten years is EIGHTH GRADE.

neutral · AI labelView post →I posted a version of this in your discord but I'll post it here too: "Everyone is 12" theory politics must logically mean that "Everywhere is Middle School" theory of society. And ask yourselves, do you look back on those years entirely fondly? Do you? Watch the film Eighth Grade w/o cringing.

positive · AI labelView post →It’s coincidentally called Eighth Grade :) it’s directed by Bo Burnham and it’s really really good but it’s so weird seeing something that feels like exactly how you were a couple years ago in a movie bruh 🥹🥹🥹

neutral · AI labelView post →Eighth Grade (2018) they should remake this movie every 5 years or so so that we have a succinct historical record of all the cringy stuff different generations of middle schooler are getting up to boxd.it/9OUbCJ

positive · AI labelView post →Round 3 - Saint Frances vs Eighth Grade Winner - Eighth Grade Finally an even matchup. Both movies are so funny, heart-breaking, uncomfortable and hopeful. Saint Frances' cast are so great but I think Eighth Grade's authentic and relatable depiction of social anxiety clinches it for me
positive · AI labelView post →Just cried my way through Eighth Grade. Have never related to a movie parent more. A beautiful little film.

We also talk about the announced cast of Avengers: Doomsday, and review Severance, The Front Room, and Spirited Away. Listen now, links below! See you at the movies…
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the most disturbing scenes I've seen in film in the last few years was in EIGHTH GRADE, where an older teenager is giving a thirteen-year-old a ride home, but stops the car and pressures her into playing Truth or Dare. No physical violence, no nudity, but skin-crawlingly horrifying.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve had good luck with a couple 2024 films recently: Didi (really want to put into conversation with Eighth Grade in my digital culture film course); All Shall be Well (my hypothetical queer cinema course is calling. Shout-out to my favorite subscription: Criterion).
neutral · AI labelView post →Once a month we take part in “Montage-a-trois”, a group of friends watching the same movie at the organiser’s home in Sydney, and our home in Melbourne, all voting on next month’s movie from a set of six movies. This month, Eighth Grade on Netflix (which has horrible sound balance issues)
neutral · AI labelView post →ooh. had an idea for when we @tombrazelton.bsky.social chat that could work as a podcast segment: the two of us who didn’t choose the movie recommend equally good (or better) movies with a similar vibe. e.g. if you pick this movie on week, Tom and I might say Edge of Seventeen and Eighth Grade.
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a scene in the (excellent) movie Eighth Grade that captures this experience perfectly--a montage of the protagonist getting sucked into a bad Instagram spiral, set to Enya's "Orinoco Flow".

neutral · AI labelView post →[Title] Eighth Grade [Author] Bo Burnham [Year] 2018 [Type] Movie | Comedy | Drama [My rating] 6.5⭐ in 10 [Opinion] Bo Burnham shows again the cruel reality of teenagers who have the bad luck of being naturally akward during this social media reality. It's clearly made for an younger audience and for good reason. It's acessible, funny and at even has some heartbreaking moments. In my opinion, worth the watch if it's a theme you find interesting #BoBurnham #EighthGrade

neutral · AI labelView post →I remember after watching the movie Eighth Grade thinking about how happy I am I didn’t grow up in the social media age, and it’s only gotten worse since then. Significantly worse at that. And the movie is only about 6 or 7 years old.

positive · AI labelView post →It’s a polarizing movie from what I understand, but the dad in Eighth Grade is one of the best recent examples of positive masculinity I can think of. Citation:
neutral · AI labelView post →My fiancé hated the movie Eighth Grade because there was so much cringe and second hand embarrassment it was physically and mentally painful for him to endure and I’m like I loved it because it perfectly encapsulates all of that feeling of trying hard and not being received how you want to be

positive · AI labelView post →Watched Aftersun for the first time last night. Such a beautiful, subtle coming-of-age film set against the backdrop of the quiet parental sufferings that kids detect but don't quite have the full words or experience for. It felt akin to something like The Quiet Girl or even Eighth Grade. #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Top rated are The Iron Claw, Eighth Grade, Lady Bird, and Moonlight. Stop Making Sense was re-released by A24 but I'm not counting it. Lowest rated movie I recognized was Y2K, which was fun actually.

positive · AI labelView post →What movie made you ugly cry? I’ve cried at movies, but I don’t think anything made me just a complete mess as much as the capsule burning scene from Eighth Grade (2018).
