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.
Where to Watch Eighth Grade
- RonJuly 12, 2026elsie fisher is phenomenal.
- annanelson7January 9, 2026Validating and inspiring story, makes my younger(and current) anxious self feel seen. The acting, cinematography, and film score are all incredible, too.
- levi4201March 27, 2026I have never wanted to have a movie be over quicker
- wonderrxjrFebruary 5, 2026Just insane the way Bo summed up how scary and awful growing up is. As someone still trying to work through social anxiety and all those things I feel for Kayla so much. This was just all so crazy and when she was Googling how to give a bj and I was about to scream cause why would you try to learn like that and why would you let that be in your search history
- Nicholas FlorioJanuary 31, 2026Wow, we all want to be young again until we remember how hard being young is. This girl conveyed very well a lot of the feelings you go through at that age. It was a cute movie.
- livwomackJanuary 26, 2026perfect representation of a middle school experience. i loved and related to this movie so much. plus the movie was made by bo burnham!! 💞
- Mason FitchueAugust 12, 2025The point is to cringe and it does it
- Ugurcan OrcunAugust 11, 2025Stellar performance from Elsie Fisher will make you grateful you’re old enough to drink.
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 12, 2025When treated like an extended TV episode of something, this is an inoffensive snippet of a Californian teenage girl's angst and for me the conversations it provoked while watching were more interesting than the film itself. It was fine but I wouldn't seek it out. Also the Dad character is pathetic in every way.
- gmrxboxOctober 21, 2024Written and Directed Bo Burnham, Eighth Grade is an incredibly powerful look into the social hierarchy of the Snapchat generation. It centers on a girl in Middle School, who's just trying to make it through, ever attached to social media. How does it impact someone to be able to be judged 24/7? And what does it mean when you've never seen the world any other way. One conversation from this movie has really stuck with me. The main character meets with some high schoolers, and they ask "How old were you when you got Snapchat?". She replies, "Fifth grade." and they all laugh and bond over it. Scares the shit out of me.
